Solve the equation by completing the square......
W squared minus sixW minus two equals zero
----
w^2-6w-2 = 0
---
w^2-6w+? = 2+?
---
w^2-6w+9 = 2+9
---
(w+3)^2 = 11
---
w+3 = sqrt(11) or w+3 = -sqrt(11)
x = -3+sqrt(11) or w = -3-sqrt(11)
===========================================
FourXsquared minus tweleveX plus four equals zero
---
4x^2-12x+4 = 0
---
x^2-3x+1 = 0
--
x^2-3x+? = -1+?
---
x^2-3x+(3/2)^2 = -1+(3/2)^2
---
(x+(3/2))^2 = 5/4
----
x+(3/2) = sqrt(5)/2 or x+(3/2) = -sqrt(5)/2
---------------------------
x = -(3/2)+sqrt(5)/2 or x = -(3/2)-sqrt(5)/2
================================
