Show that the equation 3x​2 - x3 + 3 = 0 can be rearranged to give x = 3 + 3/x2

3x^2 - x^3 + 3 = 0        Subtract 3 from both sides

3x^2 - x^3  = -3            Multiply both sides by  -1

x^3 - 3x^2 = 3                Factor out x^2

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

x-3 = 3/(x^2)                  Add 3 to both sides

x=3+ 3/(x^2)
