Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-9 + 7x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -9 + 7x + x2 = 0 Solving -9 + 7x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '9' to each side of the equation. -9 + 7x + 9 + x2 = 0 + 9 Reorder the terms: -9 + 9 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 9 Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0 0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 9 7x + x2 = 0 + 9 Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9 7x + x2 = 9 The x term is 7x. Take half its coefficient (3.5). Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides. Add '12.25' to each side of the equation. 7x + 12.25 + x2 = 9 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 9 + 12.25 Combine like terms: 9 + 12.25 = 21.25 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 21.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 3.5)(x + 3.5) = 21.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.609772229 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 3.5) equal to 4.609772229 and -4.609772229.

Subproblem 1

x + 3.5 = 4.609772229 Simplifying x + 3.5 = 4.609772229 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + x = 4.609772229 Solving 3.5 + x = 4.609772229 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + x = 4.609772229 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 4.609772229 + -3.5 x = 4.609772229 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 4.609772229 + -3.5 = 1.109772229 x = 1.109772229 Simplifying x = 1.109772229

Subproblem 2

x + 3.5 = -4.609772229 Simplifying x + 3.5 = -4.609772229 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + x = -4.609772229 Solving 3.5 + x = -4.609772229 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + x = -4.609772229 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -4.609772229 + -3.5 x = -4.609772229 + -3.5 Combine like terms: -4.609772229 + -3.5 = -8.109772229 x = -8.109772229 Simplifying x = -8.109772229
