Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-3 + -8x + 10x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -3 + -8x + 10x2 = 0 Solving -3 + -8x + 10x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 10 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '10'. -0.3 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '0.3' to each side of the equation. -0.3 + -0.8x + 0.3 + x2 = 0.0 + 0.3 Reorder the terms: -0.3 + 0.3 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.3 Combine like terms: -0.3 + 0.3 = 0.0 0.0 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.3 -0.8x + x2 = 0.0 + 0.3 Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.3 = 0.3 -0.8x + x2 = 0.3 The x term is -0.8x. Take half its coefficient (-0.4). Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides. Add '0.16' to each side of the equation. -0.8x + 0.16 + x2 = 0.3 + 0.16 Reorder the terms: 0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.3 + 0.16 Combine like terms: 0.3 + 0.16 = 0.46 0.16 + -0.8x + x2 = 0.46 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.4)(x + -0.4) = 0.46 Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.678232998 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.4) equal to 0.678232998 and -0.678232998.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.4 = 0.678232998 Simplifying x + -0.4 = 0.678232998 Reorder the terms: -0.4 + x = 0.678232998 Solving -0.4 + x = 0.678232998 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.4' to each side of the equation. -0.4 + 0.4 + x = 0.678232998 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.678232998 + 0.4 x = 0.678232998 + 0.4 Combine like terms: 0.678232998 + 0.4 = 1.078232998 x = 1.078232998 Simplifying x = 1.078232998
