Answer:

Choice d is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a  equation.

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

We have to find the solution using completing square technique.

Simplifying given given equation, we have

x²+4x-12x-48 = 9

Adding 48 to both sides of above equation, we have

x²-8x-48+48 =  9+48

x²-8x =  57

Adding the square of half of the term -8x to both sides of above equation, we have

x²-8x+(-4)² =  57+(-4)²

x²+2(1)(-4)+(-4)² =  57+16

(x-4)² = 73

Taking square root to both sides of above equation, we have

√(x-4)² = √73

x-4  = ±√73

Adding 4 to both sides of above equation, we have

x-4+4  =  ±√73+4

x  =  4±√73 which is the answer.
