    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

    x2-3x+41=0

    Step 1: Subtract 41 from both sides.

    x2-3x+41-41=0-41

    x2-3x=-41

    Step 2: The coefficient of - 3x is - 3. Let b=-3.

    Then we need to add (b/2) ^2=9/4 to both sides to complete the square.

    Add 9/4 to both sides.

    x2-3x+

    9

    4

    =-41+

    x2-3x+

    Step 3: Factor left side.

    (x
