Hello,
This t^2 + 3 = 6t will require the quadratic formula but first let's rewrite this as:
t^2 -6t + 3 = 0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
Plug in the values:
x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+6%5E2-4%2A1%2A3+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
Simplifiy to:
x = 6 +- sqrt (24)/2 rewritten as:
x= 6 +- 2 sqrt 6/2 or
x = 3 +- sqrt 6
make sense?

Add to both sides, then solve the resulting quadratic using the quadratic formula.
