The answer will wind up being a pair of complex numbers. One way you can solve for x is by completing the square:

3x2 - x + 5 = 0

3x2 - x = -5

x2 - x/3 = -5/3

x2 - x/3 + 1/36 = -5/3 + 1/36

(x - 1/6)2 = (-60 + 1) / 36

(x - 1/6)2 = -59 / 36

x - 1/6 = ± √(-59 / 36)

x - 1/6 = ± i√(59 / 36)

x - 1/6 = ± i√59 / 6

x = 1/6 ± i√59 / 6

x = (1 ± i√59) / 6

What is the length of the shorter leg of a right triangle if the longer leg has a length of 45 and the hypotenuse has a length of 53?

Subtract the squared longer leg's squared length from the hypotenuse's square to obtain the squared shorter leg length. Then find the square root of that answer for your final answer. In other words: 53 squared minus 45 squared equals your squared answer.

Ten x squared minus 17 x equals 63?

actually,10x squared minus 17 equals 63 would come out to x equals the square root of 8.to work this out, you would first at 17 to both sides to get 10x squared alone.63 plus 17 equals 80. you now have 10x squared equals 80. then divide each side by ten to get x squared alone. 80 divided by 10 equals 8. now you have x squared equals eight. finally, to find x, you find the square root of each side. x squared's square root is x, and 8's square root is 2.82842712 but I'm assuming you only have to write out x=√8.but the other answer was a good try:)Improved Answer:-10x2-17x = 6310x2-17x-63 = 0When factored: (5x+9)(2x-7) = 0Therefore the roots of the quadratic equation are: x = -9/5 and x = 7/2
