Step-by-step explanation:

Given equaiton is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
we apply quadratic formula to solve for x

a= 1 b = -12 and c= 59



Divide the 12 and square root terms by 2

so
and 
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x
ln (20×5) = ln x²
ln(100) = lnx²
100 = x²
x = +/- 10
Since logs of negative numebrs don't exist, we reject -10
You can solve this by making a proportion.

you cross multiply and divide to solve this. your answer is 8.
