<h2>Steps</h2>
So firstly, we need to isolate the x terms onto one side. To do this, subtract 48 on both sides of the equation:
Next, divide both sides by 2:
Next, we are gonna make the left side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this soon-to-be perfect square, divide the x coefficient by 2 and then square the quotient. Add the result onto both sides of the equation:
Now, factor the left side:
Next, square root both sides of the equation:
Next, add 5 to both sides of the equation:
Lastly, solve the left side twice -- once with the plus sign and once with the minus sign.
<u>In short, x = 6 and 4</u>
