Solution for 3(x-4)=x^2 equation:


Simplifying
3(x + -4) = x2

Reorder the terms:
3(-4 + x) = x2
(-4 * 3 + x * 3) = x2
(-12 + 3x) = x2

Solving
-12 + 3x = x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-12 + 3x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
12 + -3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -3x + -12 + x2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -12
-3x + x2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
-3x + x2 = -12

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = -12 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -12 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -12 + 2.25 = -9.75
2.25 + -3x + x2 = -9.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = -9.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
