SOLUTION: If {{{ sqrt (x^2-5x-11)+3 = x}}} then what value is {{{ x^2-3x+3 }}}? You have to solve for x first, and the answer I get is 7. I"m probably not doing it right though haha.

Question 589592: If +sqrt+%28x%5E2-5x-11%29%2B3+=+x then what value is +x%5E2-3x%2B3+? You have to solve for x first, and the answer I get is 7. I"m probably not doing it right though haha.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Hint: solve the given equation first then you will see x = ?
Then you substitute x value into x^2 - 3x + 3 to find your answer.
Tip: 7 is not correct!
Hope it helps:)
