Sunil is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square. 6x2 + 24x + 5 = 0 6x2 + 24x = –5 what should sunil do next? isolate the variable x2. isolate the constant. factor 6 out of the variable terms. subtract 24x from both sides of the equation.

The best thing Sunil can do is to factor 6 out of the variable terms. The equation will then look like this: 

6(x^2+4x) = -5 

Then if we like to proceed and solving the quadratic formula the next step would be dividing both sides with 6 making the equation: 

(x^2+4x) = -5/6

Then we have isolated the constants from the variable. Then we proceed with completing the square and so on util we get out solution.
