Solve for x in the equation 2 x squared plus 3 x minus 7 is equal to x squared plus 5 x plus 39

Subtract the right side from both sides to get x² − 2x − 46 = 0. Using the quadratic formula gives x = (2 ± √(4 + 184))/2 = 1 ± √47. Therefore, the solutions are x = 1 plus or minus the square root of 47, choice D.
