Full solution

Q. Solve for x x .\newline3x254x+243=0x= \begin{array}{l} 3 x^{2}-54 x+243=0 \\ x= \end{array}
  1. Identify quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation to solve.\newlineThe given quadratic equation is 3x254x+243=03x^2 - 54x + 243 = 0.
  2. Factor out GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) if possible.\newlineThe GCF of the coefficients 33, 54-54, and 243243 is 33. Let's factor it out.\newline3(x218x+81)=03(x^2 - 18x + 81) = 0
  3. Factor quadratic expression: Factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to 8181 and add up to 18-18. The numbers 9-9 and 9-9 satisfy these conditions.\newline(x9)(x9)=0(x - 9)(x - 9) = 0
  4. Solve for x using factored form: Solve for x using the factored form.\newlineSet each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlinex9=0x - 9 = 0\newlineAdd 99 to both sides.\newlinex=9x = 9\newlineSince we have a repeated factor, the equation has one unique solution.
