Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + -6x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + -6x + x2 = 0 Solving -1 + -6x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + -6x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1 Reorder the terms: -1 + 1 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 1 -6x + x2 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1 -6x + x2 = 1 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 = 1 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + -6x + x2 = 1 + 9 Combine like terms: 1 + 9 = 10 9 + -6x + x2 = 10 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -3)(x + -3) = 10 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.16227766 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -3) equal to 3.16227766 and -3.16227766.

Subproblem 1

x + -3 = 3.16227766 Simplifying x + -3 = 3.16227766 Reorder the terms: -3 + x = 3.16227766 Solving -3 + x = 3.16227766 Solving for variable 'x'.
