Answer 1

Answer:

$-3 ± 2\sqrt{3} = x$

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 9 = 12 → x² + 6x - 3

Since this Quadratic Expression is unfactorable, apply the Quadratic Formula:

$x = -b ± \frac{\sqrt{{b}^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

$-6 ± \frac{\sqrt{{6}^{2} - 4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)} = -6 ± \frac{\sqrt{36 + 12}}{2} = -6 ± \frac{\sqrt{48}}{2} \\ \\ -3 ± 2\sqrt{3}$

√48 = √[3 × 16] = 4√3

½[4√3] = 2√3

Then attach half of -6 to it as well [-3]:

-3 ± 2√3
