Simplify!
x%5E2-49=-3x
x%5E2%2B3x-49=0
Complete The Square.
x%5E2%2B3x%2B%283%2F2%29%5E2-49-%283%2F2%29%5E2=0 and then finish this process into....
%28x%2B3%2F2%29%5E2-49-9%2F4=0
%28x%2B3%2F2%29%5E2-%28196%2B9%29%2F4=0
highlight%28%28x%2B3%2F2%29%5E2-205%2F4=0%29------Standard Form!

Vertex is the minimum, at x=-3%2F2 and y=51%261%2F4.
