You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2-10x+25=3
x^2-10x+22=0
Put it thru the quadratic equation
10(+or -) the square root of 12/ALL divided by 2
(square root of 12 is 2xsquare root of three
This divides evenly (go back to the quad formula)
5(+or-) the square root of three is the answer.
Have your quadratic formula out and refer to this as you wade thru my answer!
