Question

Solve. 3x2 + 12x = 3

Answer 1

Well first, put the equation in standard form -- ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Can you do that step?

subtract three from both sides to get the equation equal to zero and then solve the quadratic equation like this: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/solvquad.htm

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

start with
\[x^2+4x=1\] then
\[(x+2)^2=1+4=5\] so
\[x+2=\pm\sqrt{5}\] and finally
\[x=-2\pm\sqrt{5}\]
