I assume you want to solve this :

 

-3(x-2)+3  = 0       subtract 3 from both sides

 

-3(x - 2)^2  = -3     divide both sides by -3

 

(x -2)^2  = 1         We could use the quadratic formula here, but the square root property is easier and faster

 

Take the square root of both sides

 

x -2  = ±√1     →     x - 2 = ±1

 

This says that  x - 2  = 1  or  x - 2 = -1      adding  2 ro each side of both equations... we have that x = 3 or x = 1
