This is the same as saying
![x = 4+2√(10) \ \ \text{ or } \ \ x = 4-2√(10)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/pihisy8p1a4me1gtcl347458f8u8z2smss.png)
=============================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
First get everything to one side
x^2 + 13 = 8x + 37
x^2 + 13 - 8x - 37 = 0
x^2 - 8x - 24 = 0
Here we have a quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0
Note how a = 1, b = -8, c = -24
Those values are plugged into the quadratic formula below
![x = (-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)\\\\x = (-(-8)\pm√((-8)^2-4(1)(-24)))/(2(1))\\\\x = (8\pm√(160))/(2)\\\\x = (8\pm√(16*10))/(2)\\\\x = (8\pm√(16)*√(10))/(2)\\\\x = (8\pm4*√(10))/(2)\\\\x = (2(4\pm2√(10)))/(2)\\\\x = 4\pm2√(10)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/3e3ke832lqolbymz3ax16gzjcaeqxzdm54.png)
This shows the answer is choice C.
The plus minus breaks down that equation these two solutions
