Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-18 + -9x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -18 + -9x + x2 = 0 Solving -18 + -9x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '18' to each side of the equation. -18 + -9x + 18 + x2 = 0 + 18 Reorder the terms: -18 + 18 + -9x + x2 = 0 + 18 Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0 0 + -9x + x2 = 0 + 18 -9x + x2 = 0 + 18 Combine like terms: 0 + 18 = 18 -9x + x2 = 18 The x term is -9x. Take half its coefficient (-4.5). Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides. Add '20.25' to each side of the equation. -9x + 20.25 + x2 = 18 + 20.25 Reorder the terms: 20.25 + -9x + x2 = 18 + 20.25 Combine like terms: 18 + 20.25 = 38.25 20.25 + -9x + x2 = 38.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -4.5)(x + -4.5) = 38.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.184658438 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -4.5) equal to 6.184658438 and -6.184658438.
