Question 422595: I'm really confused right now on this problem;
6x^2-12x+1=0
This is what I have done so far,
+x=-%28-12%29%2B+sqrt%28-12%5E2-4%286%29%281%29%29%2F2%286%29+
+x=12%2B+sqrt+%28144-24%29%2F12+
+x=12%2B+sqrt+%28120%29%2F12+
x=12+ sqrt 12+?/12 <-- The part I'm stuck on
I know I'm almost done and that the answer won't be a nice perfect number
And I used the equation solver thing, but the answer won't help unless I understand how it got there, xD
Anyways
Sorry if I didn't write the formula right,
Thanks in advance too. ^^

Question 424078: A trader bought some petrol for $500. He paid $x for each litre of petrol.
a) Find in term of x, an expression for the number of litres he bought,
b) Due to a leak, he lost 3 litres of petrol. He sold the remainder of the petrol for $1 per litre more than he paid for it. Write down an expression, in terms of x, for the sum of money he received,
c) He made a profit of $20. i) Write down an equation in x to represent this information and show that it reduces to 3(x)^2 + 23 x -500 = 0. ii) Solve this equation, giving both your answers correct to one decimal place.
d) Find, correct to the nearest whole number, how many litres of petrol he sold.
