Lie is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.
3x2 + 18x – 8 = 0
3x2 + 18x = 8
what should lie do next?
write the polynomial as a binomial squared.
factor 3 out of the variable terms.
isolate the variable x.
add 8 to both sides of the equation.

we have

Step

Move the constants to the right side

Step

Factor 3 out of the variable terms

Step

Add to both sides of the equation

Step

Write the polynomial as a binomial squared

therefore

the answer is

Factor 3 out of the variable terms.

nope
