x( x-3 ) = 48

multiply through x^2 - 3x = 48

complet the square ( one half the middle term and add the square of the result to both sides )

x^2 -3x + 9/4 = 48 + 9/4

factor   ( x + 3/2 )^2 = (192 + 9)/4

take the square root           ( x + 3/2 ) = (201)^1/2 / 2

subtract 3/2     x = ((201^1/2) - 3 / 2
