\(3x^2 = 48\) is an example of a quadratic equation that can be solved simply. If \((x + 1)(x + 2) = 0\), then \(x + 1 = 0\) or \(x + 2 = 0\), meaning \(x = -1\) or ...
An alternative method to solve a quadratic equation is to complete the square. To solve an equation of the form \(x^2 + bx + c = 0\) consider the expression \(\left(x + \frac{b}{2}\right)^2 + c\).
