X2 – 12x = 39

Please help me solve this! I need the answer ASAP

x = 6 ± 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 12x = 39

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = 39 + 36

(x - 6)² = 75 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 6 = ± = ± 5 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 6 ± 5 ← solutions in exact form

step-by-step explanation:

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
