x(3 + x) = 1.75
(3 * x + x * x) = 1.75
(3x + x2) = 1.75

Solving
3x + x2 = 1.75

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00
-1.75 + 3x + x2 = 0.00

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.75' to each side of the equation.
-1.75 + 3x + 1.75 + x2 = 0.00 + 1.75

Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 1.75 + 3x + x2 = 0.00 + 1.75

Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 3x + x2 = 0.00 + 1.75
3x + x2 = 0.00 + 1.75

Combine like terms: 0.00 + 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

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 4

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2

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 = 0.5 x = 0.5 Simplifying x = 0.5

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 = -3.5 x = -3.5 Simplifying x = -3.5

Solution

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