Question
$$x(2x+6) = 228$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = -\dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }-\dfrac{\sqrt{ 465 }}{ 2 } & x_2 = -\dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }+\dfrac{\sqrt{ 465 }}{ 2 } \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} x(2x+6) &= 228&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]2x^2+6x &= 228&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]2x^2+6x-228 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
$ 2x^{2}+6x-228 = 0 $ is a quadratic equation.
