11x² - 1056x + 25344 = 0
I'm basically a lazy individual. i don't use a calculator much, and I REALLY dislike multiplying large numbers by hand
It would be really neat if 11 was a factor in all three numeric coefficients... right?
So I checked...
(1)(11) = 11
(96)(11) = 1056
(2304)(11) = 25344
So you now have
x² - 96x + 2304 = 0
This looks more manageable... right?
I wonder if 2304 is a perfect square....
Turns out that 2304 = 48²
And fortunately, 96 = 48 + 48
So the darn thing factors to (x - 48)²
BUT.,, you said Quadratic Formula.
The Quadratic Formula
x = {-(b) ±√[(b)² - 4(a)(c)]}/[2(a)]
Substituting
x = {-(-1056) ±√[(-1056)² - 4(11)(25344)]}/[2(11)]
x = {1056 ±√[1115136 - 1115136]}/22
x = {1056 ±√[0]}/22
x = 48

First of all let us keep 11 as common:
So, dividing the equation on both the sides with 11, we get:
x^2 - 96x + 2304 = 0
Now we have formula :
x= {-b +/- (root) delta}/2a
where
a= 1
b= -96
c= 2304
Take Delta = b^2 - 4ac
= (96)^2 - 4*1*2304
= 9216 - 9216
= 0
S0, whenever delta is zero, the quadratic equation has equal roots, so it will be only:
x= -b/2a
= -(-96)/2*1
= (96)/2
= 48.

11x^2 - 1056x + 25344 = 0
therefore
11(x^2 - 96x + 2304) = 0
thus the equation is now reduced to
x^2 - 96x +2304 = 0
therefore
x^2 - 2(48)x + (48)^2 = 0 ---------------------------(1)
since square of 48 is 2304
the expression 1 is of the type
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
therefore
our expression becomes
(x - 48)^2 = 0
therefore
x - 48 = 0
and x = 48 is the only root of the equation.

11x^2 -1056x + 25344 = 0
divide by 11 and get: x^2 - 96x + 2304 = 0
also x^2 - 96x + 2304 = ( x - 48)^2 = 0
There is a unique solution x = 48.

48 is the correct answer using the quadratic equation.
x= (-(-1056)+-√-1056²-4(11 x 25,344))/2*11
x=(1056+-√1,115,136-1,115,136)/22
for some reason the /22 on the above line is showing up as 3 dots (...) i've tried to fix it several times
x=(1056+-0)/22
x=48

11x2 -1056x + 25344 = 0 /11
x2 -96x + 2304 = take the square of 2304
x2 -96x +2304 = (x - 48) (x -48)
not as nice as other methods perhaps when factoring I was taught to rationalize the signs. if binomial - then must me neg to make the number last be a positive ans so on.......

11x^2-1056x+25344=0
divide both sides by 11;
x^2-96x+2304=0
x^2-2*48*x+48^2=0
(x-48)^2=0
x=48 ANS.
