X= 4 + \sqrt{73}

x= 4 - \sqrt{73}

we have

(x-12)(x+4)=9\\ x^{2} +4x-12x-48=9\\ x^{2} -8x-48=9

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

x^{2} -8x=9+48\\ x^{2} -8x=57

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} -8x+16=57+16\\ x^{2} -8x+16=73

Rewrite as perfect squares

x^{2} -8x+16=73\\ (x-4)^{2} =73\\ (x-4)=(+/-)\sqrt{73}

x1=4+\sqrt{73} \\ x2=4-\sqrt{73}

therefore

the answer is

x1=4+\sqrt{73} \\ x2=4-\sqrt{73}

The area of the smallest equilateral triangle with one vertex on each of the sides of the right triangle with side lengths and <
Gre4nikov [31]
Set up the given triangle on x-y coordinates with right angle at (0,0). So the two vertices are at (5,0) and (0,2sqrt{x} n]{3})

let (a,0) and (0,b) be two vertices of the<span> equilateral triangle. So the third vertex must be at </span>(\frac{a+\sqrt{3}b}{2} ,  \frac{b+\sqrt{3}a}{2} )

for a pt (x,y) on line sx+ty=1, the minimum of \sqrt{x^{2} + {y^{2} }
equals to \frac{1}{ \sqrt{ s^{2} +  t^{2} } }

smallest value happens at \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{67}

so area is \frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}

hence m=75, n=67, p=3
m+n+p = 75+67+3 = 145
