thanks how did you get the answer please tell me how
OpenStudy (anonymous):
once u find the values of u, by backward substitution u find x
OpenStudy (amistre64):
you simply see how it could fit into a "normal" quadratic form.
if u = sqrt(x)
then u^2 = x right?
So we solve for:
u^2 - 14u +48 = 0 instead; and when we find the values for "u"
we can then determine that value for x; since u = sqrt(x)
when "u" = 6 we get:
6 = sqrt(x); or 6^2 = x, so naturally, x = 36 for this solution
