x2 + 3x - 1 is an expression, NOT an equation so, as it stands, there is nothing to solve.

If the equation was the above expression = 0, then using the quadratic equation,

x = [-3 ± sqrt(9 + 4*1*1)]/2

= [-3 ± sqrt(13)]/2

= -0.30278 and 3.30278 (to 5 dp)

How do you solve x2 plus 7x plus 12?

You cannot solve, without equating it to something. As given it is just an expression. However it can be factored. x^(2) + 7x +12 ( x + 3)(x + 4) Factored but NOT solved. However, it we equate to 'zero(0)' then it can be solved. ( x + 3)( x + 4) = 0 X + 3 = 0 x = -3 Similarly x + 4 = 0 x = -4 Are the solutions (solved).

How do you solve x-1 plus x2-x plus x3-x2 plus x4-x3?

x4 - 1.We can not "solve" this as we have not been told the value of x. However, we can simplify this expression:We have an x and a minus x here which will cancel out. Likewise the x2 and x3 will cancel out with the -x2 and -x3 respectively. This therefore leaves us with just x4 - 1.
