The expression that would be added to both sides is (b/2a)^2

<h3>How to determine the expression?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^2 + b/ax + __ = c/a + __

Take the coefficient of x

b/a

Divide by 2

b/2a

Square the expression

(b/2a)^2

Hence, the expression that would be added to both sides is (b/2a)^2
