Find the largest value of $x$ such that $3x^2 + 17x + 15 = 2x^2 + 21x + 12 - 5x^2 + 17x + 34.$
First off, let's combine some like terms and move all terms to one side.
We get 6x2−21x−31=0. Unfortunately, this can't be factored without radicals, so let's use the Qudratic Formula.
We get x=21±√(−21)2−4⋅6(−31)2⋅6. Simplifying, we get
x=√1185+2112x=−√1185+2112
We want to take the biggest value of x we could, which would be x=√1185+2112.
Thanks! :)
