Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-20 + 6x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -20 + 6x + x2 = 0 Solving -20 + 6x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '20' to each side of the equation. -20 + 6x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20 Reorder the terms: -20 + 20 + 6x + x2 = 0 + 20 Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0 0 + 6x + x2 = 0 + 20 6x + x2 = 0 + 20 Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20 6x + x2 = 20 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 = 20 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + 6x + x2 = 20 + 9 Combine like terms: 20 + 9 = 29 9 + 6x + x2 = 29 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 3)(x + 3) = 29 Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.385164807 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 3) equal to 5.385164807 and -5.385164807.
