Hi
4x^2-4x+3=0
Move the constant term to the right side of the equation
4x^2-4x=-3
Multiply each term in the equation by four times the coefficient of the x^2 term
64x^2 -64x = -48
Square the coefficient of the original x term and add it to both sides of the equation
64x^2 -64x + 16 = -48 + 16
Take the square root of both sides and complete as shown
(8x -4)^2 =(-32)
(8x -4) = ± sqrt(-32)
x = (4 ± sqrt(-32))8
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%284+%2B-+sqrt%28+-32%29%29%2F%288%29+
