0.00 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 1.75
-3x + x2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.75 = 1.75
-3x + x2 = 1.75

The x term is -3x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = 1.75 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 1.75 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 1.75 + 2.25 = 4
2.25 + -3x + x2 = 4

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1.5) equal to 2 and -2.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.5 = 2 Simplifying x + -1.5 = 2 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = 2 Solving -1.5 + x = 2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + x = 2 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 2 + 1.5 x = 2 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 x = 3.5 Simplifying x = 3.5

Subproblem 2

x + -1.5 = -2 Simplifying x + -1.5 = -2 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = -2 Solving -1.5 + x = -2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + x = -2 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -2 + 1.5 x = -2 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -2 + 1.5 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.5, -0.5}
