y = 3x² - 24x + 3
Factor out the three's from the x's
y = 3(x² - 8x) + 3
Complete the square, and make sure you subtract what you have added
y = 3(x² - 8x + 16) + 3 - 48
Factor out the square trinomial
y = 3(x - 4)² - 45
Now, what do you want to solve?

For one thing, it's really not an equation to solve. If, however, you meant for
3x^2 - 24x + 3 = 0
Then your first step would be to recognize all coefficients are divisible by 3, so divide both sides by 3.
x^2 - 8x + 1 = 0
We could either use the quadratic formula or complete the square. I'm going to complete the square. I'm going to add "half squared" of -8 to both sides, which is 16.
x^2 - 8x + 16 + 1 = 16
(x - 4)^2 + 17 = 16
(x - 4)^2 = -1
Which has no solution.

Firstly, you cant solve an equation if it's not equals to zero (0).
Therefore, you can only factorise it, using squaring method.
y = 3x^2 - 24x + 3
= 3(x^2 -8x) + 3
= 3[(x-4)^2 - (4^2)] + 3
= 3(x-4)^2 - 48 + 3
= 3(x-4)^2 - 45
No other ways, dude.

To solve this there are 2 easy methods
1) Using the quadratic formula
Given the general form ax^2+bx+c
(-b +/- (b^2 - (4*a*c))^.5 )/2a
2) Or solve by inspection
to factorise a quadratic the numbers you chose have to multiply to the c and add to the b
Since this will not be a whole number answer ill use the quadratic formula ,
(-b +/- (b^2 - (4*a*c))^.5 )/2a
24 +/- 540^.5 / 6
x = (24 +/- 23.24 )/ 6

y=3x^2-24x+3
use the quadratic formula
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
a=3
b=-24
c=3
x = [ -(-24) ± √((-24)^2 - 4(3)(3)) ] / 2(3)
x = [ 24 ± √(576- 36) ] / 6
x = [24 ± √(540)] / 6
x = [24 ± √(36)√(15)] / 6
x = [24 ± 6√(15)] / 6
x = 4 ± √(15)
x = (4 +√15) & x = (4 - √15)

this is not an equation which can be solved.however we have factored it
y=3(x^2-8x+1)
=3(x^2-8x+16-16+1)
=3[(x-4)^2-(sq.rt15)^2]
=3(x-4+sq.rt15)(x4-sq.rt15)

this equation is a parabole equation.the solutions is points (x,y) and y=3(x^2-8x+1) with x,yreal.
the points (x,y)are on the parabole and are a infinity solutions.
