(2x+9)^2=x+3
=>4x^2+36x+81=x+3
=>4x^2+35x+78=0
now discriminant b^2-4ac=35^2-4*4*78=1225-1248=-23
here b^2-4ac
here Discriminant is negative...
ans will be no real solution ony two imaginary solutions......

Write (2x + 9 )^2 as (2x + 6 + 3) ^2 => ( 2(x +3) + 3 )^2 .
Now Square it: 4 ( x+ 3) ^2 + 9 + 12(x+3) .
Now divide this equation by x+3. ( as (2x+9)^2 = x+3 => (2x+9) / (x+3) =0 ) .
So divide each term by x+3.
Then take 9 / (x+3) [Do not consider other two terms as they can have infinite values for x] . So for this term to be real, x can have -12, and 6 as the value.
So 2 values of X are possible.
