6 + 2.75x + 0.25x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
0.25 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '0.25'.
24 + 11x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.
24 + 11x + -24 + x2 = 0 + -24

Reorder the terms:
24 + -24 + 11x + x2 = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
0 + 11x + x2 = 0 + -24
11x + x2 = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 0 + -24 = -24
11x + x2 = -24

The x term is 11x.  Take half its coefficient (5.5).
Square it (30.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '30.25' to each side of the equation.
11x + 30.25 + x2 = -24 + 30.25

Reorder the terms:
30.25 + 11x + x2 = -24 + 30.25

Combine like terms: -24 + 30.25 = 6.25
30.25 + 11x + x2 = 6.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 5.5)(x + 5.5) = 6.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 5.5) equal to 2.5 and -2.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 5.5 = 2.5 Simplifying x + 5.5 = 2.5 Reorder the terms: 5.5 + x = 2.5 Solving 5.5 + x = 2.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5.5' to each side of the equation. 5.5 + -5.5 + x = 2.5 + -5.5 Combine like terms: 5.5 + -5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 2.5 + -5.5 x = 2.5 + -5.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -5.5 = -3 x = -3 Simplifying x = -3

Subproblem 2

x + 5.5 = -2.5 Simplifying x + 5.5 = -2.5 Reorder the terms: 5.5 + x = -2.5 Solving 5.5 + x = -2.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5.5' to each side of the equation. 5.5 + -5.5 + x = -2.5 + -5.5 Combine like terms: 5.5 + -5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -2.5 + -5.5 x = -2.5 + -5.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + -5.5 = -8 x = -8 Simplifying x = -8

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-3, -8}
