How do you complete the square of x^2-14x+33=0?

X² - 14x + 33 = 0 is in the form ax² + bx + c = 0. We will need this for the second step.

Subtract 33 from both sides
x² - 14x = - 33

Divide the b term by 2 and then square the result. Then add that to both sides.
- 14 / 2 is - 7. (- 7)² = 49. Add that to both sides

x² - 14x + 49 = - 33 + 49

Combine the constants and factor the trinomial
(x - 7)² = 16

Square root both sides
x - 7 = +/- 4
or
x - 7 = - 4 and x - 7 = 4

You have to place a plus-minus statement because (- 4)² and 4² both equal 16. 

Now we solve for x in each equation. Add 7 to both sides to isolate our variable.
x = 3 and x = 11

quester [9]
Let the number of times she turns the pedal in one mile be x.

Given that her rear miles turns 875 times in one mile and the ratio of pedal turns to rear wheel turns is 4 to 7, then

\frac{4}{7} = \frac{x}{875}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow 7x=4(875)=3,500 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{3,500}{7} =\bold{500}

Therefore, she turns the pedal 500 times in one mile.
