Question

Could anyone show me the steps on how to solve this problem?

square root x^2+12x+3=-x

Answer 1

I got x=-1/4 is this right?

Answer 2

\[\sqrt{x^2+12x+3}=-x\]

Answer 3

\[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt {b^2-4ac }}{ 2a }\]

Answer 4

but its radical expression though o:

Answer 5

first square both the sides

Answer 6

I dont understand that part but i know you plug the numbers into the formula. Sorry T: i'm confused.

Answer 7

squaring both sides will give you x^2+12x+3=x^2
12x=-3
x= -3/12=-1/4
