Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(15 + 6x + -2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 15 + 6x + -2x2 = 0 Solving 15 + 6x + -2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-2'. -7.5 + -3x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '7.5' to each side of the equation. -7.5 + -3x + 7.5 + x2 = 0 + 7.5 Reorder the terms: -7.5 + 7.5 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 7.5 -3x + x2 = 0 + 7.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5 -3x + x2 = 7.5 The x term is -3x. Take half its coefficient (-1.5). Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -3x + 2.25 + x2 = 7.5 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + -3x + x2 = 7.5 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 7.5 + 2.25 = 9.75 2.25 + -3x + x2 = 9.75 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 9.75 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.122498999 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -1.5) equal to 3.122498999 and -3.122498999.
