    Subtract x^2 from both sides

    x^2 + 3x - 7 = 5x + 39

    Subtract 5x from both sides

    x^2 - 2x - 7 = 39

    Add 7 to both sides

    x^2 - 2x = 46

    Complete the square by adding (b/2) ^2 to both sides, b = (-2)

    (-2/2) = - 1, then square that (-1) ^2 = 1

    x^2 - 2x + 1 = 46 + 1

    Simplify the expression by factoring

    (x - 1) ^2 = 47

    Take square root on each side

    x - 1 = (sqrt (47))

    Solve for x

    x = 1 + (sqrt (47))

    Since 47 is prime, 47 cannot be broken down by the square root and this is the answer to your problem.
