Can someone help check my work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to find the solution of x^2 - 6x = -22

OpenStudy (hesan):

what is your answer??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[x=3\pm i \sqrt{13}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that isn't in the answer choice

OpenStudy (hesan):

correct answer.. :)

OpenStudy (hesan):

because i got the same answer...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The closest thing is \[-3-i \sqrt{13} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll probably just put that but I was wondering why it's negative

OpenStudy (hesan):

no i am got 3 in positive..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I don't even care about why it's negative, I just want to know if that would be correct too

OpenStudy (hesan):

may be answer in choice is wrong...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another answer choice is \[-3+i \sqrt{52}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Possibly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll just go with the first one
