Answer 3

x^+6x+5=0

Answer 4

2x^2-12x+4=0

Divide through by 2: x^2-6x+2=0

Prepare to complete the square: x^2-6x=-2

Complete the square on the left-hand side: x^2-6x+9=-2+9=7 (add 9 to each side)

Square completed: (x-3)^2=7

Take square root of each side: (x-3)=±√7

x=3±√7, so x=5.646 or 0.354 approx.
