-12 + 12 + -11x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -11x + x2 = 0 + 12
-11x + x2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
-11x + x2 = 12

The x term is -11x.  Take half its coefficient (-5.5).
Square it (30.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '30.25' to each side of the equation.
-11x + 30.25 + x2 = 12 + 30.25

Reorder the terms:
30.25 + -11x + x2 = 12 + 30.25

Combine like terms: 12 + 30.25 = 42.25
30.25 + -11x + x2 = 42.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -5.5)(x + -5.5) = 42.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -5.5) equal to 6.5 and -6.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -5.5 = 6.5 Simplifying x + -5.5 = 6.5 Reorder the terms: -5.5 + x = 6.5 Solving -5.5 + x = 6.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5.5' to each side of the equation. -5.5 + 5.5 + x = 6.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 6.5 + 5.5 x = 6.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: 6.5 + 5.5 = 12 x = 12 Simplifying x = 12

Subproblem 2

x + -5.5 = -6.5 Simplifying x + -5.5 = -6.5 Reorder the terms: -5.5 + x = -6.5 Solving -5.5 + x = -6.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5.5' to each side of the equation. -5.5 + 5.5 + x = -6.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -6.5 + 5.5 x = -6.5 + 5.5 Combine like terms: -6.5 + 5.5 = -1 x = -1 Simplifying x = -1

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {12, -1}
