Solve by completing the square. Please show all steps.

Solve by completing the square. x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0

Solution

x^2 -7x +12 =0

Solve by completing square

(a+b)^2 = a^2 +b^2 +2ab

a= 1 ; 2ab = -7

b = -7/2

So, x^2 + 49/4 -49/4 -7x + 12 =0

(x -7/2)^2 -49/4 +12 =0

(x - 7/2)^2 -1/4 =0

(x - 7/2)^2 = 1/4

(x -7/2) = sqrt(1/4)

(x-7/2 ) = +/- 1/2

x = 7/2 +1/2 = 4

x = 7/2 -1/2 = 3

So, x= 3 , 4
