We are given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12x%5E2-23x=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - subtract 24 to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12x%5E2-23x-24=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - use the quadratic to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%2823+%2B-+sqrt%28+529-4%2A12%2A%28-24%29+%29%29%2F%2824%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%2823+%2B-+sqrt%28+1681%29%29%2F%2824%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%2823+%2B-+41%29%2F%2824%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18/24 = -3/4
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "x = 64/24 = 8/3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
