Solve x^2 12x - 28 = 0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 63}{3}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.326352

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 12 x - 28 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 12 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 12

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 12

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

12 x^{3}

12 x^{3} - 28 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

12 x^{3} = 0 + 28

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

12 x^{3} = 28

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x ^{3}}{12} = \frac{28}{12}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{28}{12}

Cancel out the common factor 4

x^{3} = \frac{7}{3}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{7}{3}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{7}{3}
