Question 121681: Hi, I would really like to know if these two equations are the same.
x^2 = 3x + 12 re-wrote as x^2 + 3x = 12
x^2+3x=12
x^2+ 3x+ (3/2)^2=12+(3/2)^2
(x+3/2)^2= √57/4

x+ 3/2= + √(57/4)=+ √((3^1*〖19〗^1)/2^2 )=+ √57/2
= x+ 3/2= - √(57/4)=- √((3^1*〖19〗^1)/2^2 )- √57/2
x+3/(2 )– 3/2=+√57/2-3/2
x+3/(2 )– 3/2=-√57/2-3/2
x=-3/2+ √57/2
x=-3/2- √57/2
x^2+3x=12
(-3/2+ √57/2)^2+3*(-3/2+ √57/2)=12
(-3/2- √57/2)^2+3*(-3/2- √57/2)=12
Thank you.
