Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(3 + x + 6x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + x + 6x2 = 0

Solving
3 + x + 6x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '6'.
0.5 + 0.1666666667x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 0.1666666667x + -0.5 + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 0.1666666667x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.1666666667x + x2 = 0 + -0.5
0.1666666667x + x2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
0.1666666667x + x2 = -0.5

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.1666666667x + 0.25 + x2 = -0.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.1666666667x + x2 = -0.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.25 = -0.25
0.25 + 0.1666666667x + x2 = -0.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = -0.25

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
