Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-480 + x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -480 + x + x2 = 0 Solving -480 + x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '480' to each side of the equation. -480 + x + 480 + x2 = 0 + 480 Reorder the terms: -480 + 480 + x + x2 = 0 + 480 Combine like terms: -480 + 480 = 0 0 + x + x2 = 0 + 480 x + x2 = 0 + 480 Combine like terms: 0 + 480 = 480 x + x2 = 480 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. x + 0.25 + x2 = 480 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x + x2 = 480 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 480 + 0.25 = 480.25 0.25 + x + x2 = 480.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 480.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 21.914607001 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 0.5) equal to 21.914607001 and -21.914607001.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 21.914607001 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 21.914607001 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 21.914607001 Solving 0.5 + x = 21.914607001 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 21.914607001 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 21.914607001 + -0.5 x = 21.914607001 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 21.914607001 + -0.5 = 21.414607001 x = 21.414607001 Simplifying x = 21.414607001

Subproblem 2
