What is the first step in solving the equation 3x^2 – 6x +1=0 by completing the square?

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

The very first step is to remove the coefficient in front of the x². Thus, we would factor out a 3 from the first and second terms:

And we would proceed from there.

Further notes:

I'm going to complete the square just in case you need it:

Divide -2 by 2 and the square it. We get 1. Then add that to the left. Be careful to multiply it by 3.

Perfect square trinomial. Simplify:

And we are done :)

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier

both triangles are similar because 2 is just smaller than the big one 1 is similar because they are facing different way's but are similar to each other
