Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(3 + 6m + m2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + 6m + m2 = 0 Solving 3 + 6m + m2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + 6m + -3 + m2 = 0 + -3 Reorder the terms: 3 + -3 + 6m + m2 = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + 6m + m2 = 0 + -3 6m + m2 = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 6m + m2 = -3 The m term is 6m. Take half its coefficient (3). Square it (9) and add it to both sides. Add '9' to each side of the equation. 6m + 9 + m2 = -3 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + 6m + m2 = -3 + 9 Combine like terms: -3 + 9 = 6 9 + 6m + m2 = 6 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (m + 3)(m + 3) = 6 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.449489743 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (m + 3) equal to 2.449489743 and -2.449489743.

Subproblem 1

m + 3 = 2.449489743 Simplifying m + 3 = 2.449489743 Reorder the terms: 3 + m = 2.449489743 Solving 3 + m = 2.449489743 Solving for variable 'm'.
