Hi, Previously Posted

x^2- 12x = -5

x^2 - 12x + 5 = 0

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+ 

x+=+%2812+%2B-+sqrt%28+124+%29%29%2F%282%29+ 

x+=+%2812+%2B-+2sqrt%28+31%29%29%2F%282%29+ 

x+=++6+%2B-+sqrt%28+31%29+ 

  x = 11.57  or x = .43   rounded to the nearest hundredth
