Answer:
x = 4 is the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
given = x ( square both sides )
x + 12 = x² ( rearrange into standard form )
x² - x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4 )(x + 3 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
Insert these values into the original equation, and if both sides are equal, and those are the solutions.
x = 4 : = = 4 = x ← correct
x = - 3 : = = 3 ≠ - 3 ← false
the answer is x = 4

r-15=6
r=6+15
r=21
The start time is 9:15 A.M. I believe.
I took away 6 hours from the elapsed time to get 12:00 P.M. (noon). Then, I took away another 3 hours to get 9:00 A.M. Now, we only have 3/4 hour left. 3/4 of 60 is 45. 60 - 45 = 15. Add 15 minutes to 9:00.
Hope it helps,
