Answer
Find out the how many tiles are in each section .
To prove
Let us assume that the number of tiles are in section are be x.
As given
A mosaic at the art museum is divided into 6 sections that each contain about the same number of tiles.
There are 2,889 tiles total in the mosiac .
Than the equation becomes
6 × x = 2889
x = 481.5
Therefore the total number of tiles in each sections are 481.5 .

Completing the square follows the principle of taking 
and converting it into 
where d is the 'correctional number' as I like to call it - i.e. the number that converts the expanded bracket into the +c, since the expanded bracket will give us 
.
In this case, 2/2=1 so we have the first part:
.
Expanding this gives us
. We need c to be 9, so we can just add 8.
Putting this together:
Now we can solve it more easily.
