Answer:

The answer is x=-16 ±2\sqrt{3} in exact form or x=-12.535898, x=-19.464102 in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start by moving all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify. Simplify the equation by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation and squaring x+16, which will look like x^{2} +32x+256-12=0. Next, simplify the equation again, which will look like x^{2} +32x+244=0.

Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions. The quadratic formula looks like\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}.

For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:

a=1

b=32

c=244

The next step is to substitute the values a=1, b=32, and c=244 into the quadratic formula and solve. The quadratic formula will look like \frac{-32(+-)\sqrt{32^2-4(1*244)} }{2*1}. To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like x=\frac{-32(+-)4\sqrt{3} }{2*1}. Then, multiply 2 by 1 and simplify the equation, which will look like x=-16(+-)2\sqrt{3}. The final answer is x=-16 ±2\sqrt{3} in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is x=-12.535898, x=-19.464102.

A geometry program can show you the total displacement is about 10.14 miles.

_____
You can use a vector calculator to find the solution, too. Using bearing angles, the sum is
   4∠90° + 3∠135° + 3∠180° + 4∠225° + 3∠90° ≈ 10.1390∠141.6354°

_____
If you want to do it by hand, you can recognize the sum will be
   7 miles east + 3 miles south + 3 miles southeast + 4 miles southwest

Distances that are not in the direction of one of the coordinate axes can be translated to rectangular coordinates by 
   displacement*(cos(angle), sin(angle))
Angles can be measured in the conventional way—from the positive x-axis. A direction of southeast will be +315° or -45°. A direction of southwest will be +225° or -135°.

Then the sum of the displacements in rectangular coordinates is ...
   = (7, -3) + 3*(cos(-45°), sin(-45°)) + 4*(cos(-135°), sin(-135°))
   = (7, -3) + ((√2)/2)*((3, -3) + (-4, -4))
   = (7, -3) + 0.707107*(-1, -7)
   = (6.2929, -7.9497)
Then the Pythagorean theorem is used to find the direct distance from home to this displaced location.
   d = √(6.2929² +(-7.9497)²) ≈ √102.7990
   d ≈ 10.1390 . . . . miles
