Question

3x^2+3x=6

solve

Answer 1

Simplifying
3x2 + 3x = 6

Reorder the terms:
3x + 3x2 = 6

Solving
3x + 3x2 = 6

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 3x + 3x2 = 6 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
-6 + 3x + 3x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '3'.
3(-2 + x + x2) = 0

Factor a trinomial.
3((-2 + -1x)(1 + -1x)) = 0

Ignore the factor 3.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-2 + -1x = 0

Solving
-2 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + -1x = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 2
-1x = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-1x = 2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1x = 0

Solving
1 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

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

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -1
-1x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1x = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 1

Simplifying
x = 1
Solution
x = {-2, 1}
