Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-80 + -6x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -80 + -6x + x2 = 0 Solving -80 + -6x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '80' to each side of the equation. -80 + -6x + 80 + x2 = 0 + 80 Reorder the terms: -80 + 80 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 80 Combine like terms: -80 + 80 = 0 0 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 80 -6x + x2 = 0 + 80 Combine like terms: 0 + 80 = 80 -6x + x2 = 80 The x term is -6x. Take half its coefficient (-3). Square it (9) and add it to both sides. Add '9' to each side of the equation. -6x + 9 + x2 = 80 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + -6x + x2 = 80 + 9 Combine like terms: 80 + 9 = 89 9 + -6x + x2 = 89 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -3)(x + -3) = 89 Calculate the square root of the right side: 9.433981132 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -3) equal to 9.433981132 and -9.433981132.
