You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2 4 c +1 = 1 2 c + 3(c+4) c + 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "c=i
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Reasoning is cumulative, 12c +_2c =_4c resulted in 12c+12c +24c,,,
\n" ); document.write( "substituting and collecting terms resulted in 3c^2 =-1, or c=i
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "24(i) +1 = 12(i) +3(i)^2 +12(i) +4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "checking

\n" ); document.write( "24i +1 = 12i +3(-1) +12i +4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "24 i +1 = 24i -3 +4 = 24i +1,,, ok \n" ); document.write( "
