Answered by maham237 @



we have

 x^{2}-8x=3

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

 x^{2}-8x+16=3+16

 x^{2}-8x+16=19

Rewrite as perfect squares

 (x-4)^{2}=19

 (x-4)^{2}=19\\ (x-4)=(+/-)\sqrt{19} \\ \\ x1=4+\sqrt{19} =8.359\\ x2=4-\sqrt{19} =-0.359

therefore

the answer is

 x1=4+\sqrt{19} =8.359\\x2=4-\sqrt{19} =-0.359
