Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation to solve.The given quadratic equation is 3x2+18x+27=0.
Factor out the greatest common factor: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) if possible.The GCF of the coefficients 3, 18, and 27 is 3. We can factor out 3 from each term.3(x2+6x+9)=0
Solve the factored quadratic equation: Solve the factored quadratic equation.Now we have the equation in the form 3(a2+2ab+b2)=0, which is a perfect square trinomial.(x+3)2=0
Find the value of x: Find the value of x.Since (x+3)2=0, we can take the square root of both sides to solve for x.x+3=0Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x.x=−3
