What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)^2=b as a result of completing the square for the following equation?
2x^2+42x+260=6x
( )^2=

Equation is in form of . All the intermediate steps are shown above for the transformation .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation 2x^2+42x+260=6x or . Let's change this in form of (x+a)^2=b or , following steps will be all intermediate steps involved :

⇒

⇒

But,   Therefore,

⇒

So , equation is in form of . All the intermediate steps are shown above for the transformation .

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
