Question

Solve the equation for all real solutions in simplest form. 3x2 - 12x + 11 = x

Answer 1

Answer:

(13 + or - (sign) square root(37)) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First search up the quadratic formula which is

x = (- b + or - square root(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

and to find a, b, and c you need this formula

ax^2 + bx + c = 0 (btw this is the safest solution to finding your answer with a number in-front of a quadratic equation.)

Math:

a = 3, b = -13, c = 11

b = -13, because of the x on the other end of the equation as the equation above "ax^2 + bx + c = 0" you need the zero to proceed to this next step.

Side Note: You only take the number and not the variable, variables are x, y, w, z, or etc.

(- (- 13) + or - square root((-13)^2 - 4(3)(11) ) ) / 2 * 3

13 + or - square root(37) / 6
