Step 2 Move the number term ca to the right side of the equation. Divide both sides by the coefficient of x -squared unless of course its 1. Because this equation contains a non-squared x in 6 x that technique wont work.
Step 3 Complete the square on the left side of the equation and balance this by adding the same value to the right side of the equation.
1 per month helps. Factoring on the other hand involves breaking the quadratic equation into two linear equations that are both equal to zero. Then we can use the following procedures to solve a quadratic equation by completing the square. Step 2 Move the number term ca to the right side of the equation.
