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

Simplifying
1 + 3x + x2 = 0

Solving
1 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + 3x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + 3x + x2 = 0 + -1
