Answer:
x = – 3, x =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² =15 – 4x ( add 4x to both sides )
3x² + 4x = 15 ← factor out 3 from each term on the left side
3(x² +
x) = 15
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² +
x
3(x² + 2(
)x +
–
) = 15
3(x +
)² –
= 15 ( add
to both sides )
3(x +
)² = 15 +
=
( divide both sides by 3 )
(x +
)² =
( take the square root of both sides )
x +
= ±
= ±
( subtract
from both sides )
x = –
±
, then
x = –
–
= – 3
x = –
+
= 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x²=15-4x
divide by 3 on both sides
x²=5-
x
move everything to one side
x²+
x -5 = 0
add the square of 1/2 the middle term of
but also subtract it too
x²+
x +
-5-
= 0
now use the property of a perfect square to rewrite
rewrite 5 as a fraction
add up the fractions
move to the other side
take the square root of both sides 😛
much easier looking now, just use algebra to solve for x
x +
= 
subtract
from both sides
x +
–
=
–
x =
