Answer:

x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

(x - 12) (x + 4) = 9

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 8 x - 48 = 9

Add 48 to both sides:

x^2 - 8 x = 57

Add 16 to both sides:

x^2 - 8 x + 16 = 73

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 4)^2 = 73

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 4 = sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)

Add 4 to both sides:

Answer:  x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)

Given:

Two rectangles are proportional.

Length and width of 1 rectangle = 6 : 8

Dimensions of the other rectangle = ?

Let length and width of the other rectangle be x : y

According to the question:

\frac{6}{8} :\frac{x}{y}

\frac{6}{8} X \frac{y}{x}

So, the width of the rectangle would be 6 times the first rectangle and the length would be 8 times the first rectangle.
