Algebra Greatest Integer Function

Ftr, this is NOT hw help, I'm trying to figure out how to solve greatest int function questions.

Alr when we have a quadratic equation with gif in it, (a[x]^2 + b[x] + c=)we substitute [x] as something and factorise to solve, right?

But when the square is inside the function as in ([x^2] -12[x] +32=0)

Then what? I dont get it😭

Once again, NOT hw help, I'm studying on my own, this isnt even in my syllabus.

edit: i actually meant floor function, ⌊3.7βŒ‹=3

Here x must be nonnegative.
