Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(3 + 5x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + 5x + x2 = 0

Solving
3 + 5x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + 5x + -3 + x2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -3
