solve for x

Start by moving everything to one side so you get a standard form equation which equals to 0.

which would be x² -2x-46=0

Then you can complete the square or use the quadratic formula to solve for x

the standard form is ax²+bx+c=0 and the quadratic formula is 

so just plug in all the values to get \(x = {1 \pm \sqrt{47}}\)
