It's the type of problem you are supposed to solve.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's do it:
\n" ); document.write( "-3(2x+3)^2-6 = -33 add 6 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "-3(2x+3)^2 = -27 now divide both sides by -3, remember -/- = +
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+3)^2 = 9 take the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3 = 3 OK, since we've been dealing with a quadratic you get 2 possible answers:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = -3-3 or 2x = 3-3
\n" ); document.write( "2x = -6 or 2x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = -3 or x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Plug each into the original equation and see if you get -33.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
