Answer:
The correct solution is "x=3 or x=9".
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
⇒ [tex]x^2 - 12x + 49 = 22[/tex]
On subtracting "22" from both sides, we get
⇒ [tex]x^2-12x+49-22=22-22[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x^2-12x+27=0[/tex]
On factorizing the above equation, we get
⇒ [tex]x^2-9x-3x-27=0[/tex]
By taking common, we get
⇒ [tex]x(x-9)-3(x-9)=0[/tex]
⇒ [tex](x-3)(x-9)=0[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x-3=0[/tex]
[tex]x=3[/tex]
Or,
⇒ [tex]x-9=0[/tex]
[tex]x=9[/tex]
