Solve for x over the real numbers = complete the square
x + 5 = 0.5 (x + 3)^2

0.5 (x + 3)^2 = 1/2 (x + 3)^2:
x + 5 = 1/2 (x + 3)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
x + 5 = x^2/2 + 3 x + 9/2

Subtract x^2/2 + 3 x + 9/2 from both sides:
-x^2/2 - 2 x + 1/2 = 0

Multiply both sides by -2:
x^2 + 4 x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:
x^2 + 4 x = 1

Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 + 4 x + 4 = 5

Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 2)^2 = 5

Take the square root of both sides:
x + 2 = sqrt(5) or x + 2 = -sqrt(5)

Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = sqrt(5) - 2 or x + 2 = -sqrt(5)

Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer:  x = sqrt(5) - 2 or x = -2 - sqrt(5)

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

Answer:

Igneous rock , formed by the cooling of magma (molten rock) inside the Earth or on the surface. Sedimentary rocks, formed from the products of weathering by cementation or precipitation on the Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks, formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.
