solve -3x2 + 9x = 1 ⇒ x=0.1156 , x=2.884
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh -_-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How did you do that?
Even if it's not completing the square...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Uh...maybe igreen can help.....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Call his number

@iGreen
OpenStudy (igreen):
Sorry..I hate 'Completing the Square' I never understood it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
XD
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Any other idea how to get the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I can send you some links ^_^

you im only in 6th grade and watching all these problems that look like scrambled numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You are little too young for this site
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You can't really help people, most kids are teens

@!Call~Me~Addi! How did you get that?
@PaulaLovesSchool13 Please do.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok I am searching
OpenStudy (alekos):
-3x^2 + 9x=1
-3x^2 + 9x -1 =0
3x^2 -9x +1 =0
x^2 - 3x +1/3 =0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I agree @alekos

(x^2 - 3x + 9/4) -9/4 +1/3 =0
OpenStudy (alekos):
(x-3/2)^2 -9/4 +1/3 =0
OpenStudy (alekos):
(x-3/2)^2 - 27/12 + 4/12 = 0

OpenStudy (alekos):
(x-3/2)^2 - 23/12 = 0
(x-3/2)^2 = 23/12
x-3/2 = sqrt(23/12)
x = sqrt(23/12) + 3/2
OpenStudy (alekos):
did you follow all of that?
OpenStudy (alekos):
x is also equal to -sqrt(23/12) + 3/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think so...
OpenStudy (alekos):
just go through all my steps one by one and you'll see how I've come to the final two answers

He is confused
OpenStudy (alekos):
so x = 2.8844 and 0.1156
OpenStudy (alekos):
derived by completing the square
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So this was complete the square?
