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.

Answer:
x=1 and x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the points at which the graphs y = x^2 + x – 2 and y = 2x – 2 intercept.
We know that:
x^2 + x – 2 = 2x – 2
x^2 - x = 0
Factorizing:
x(x-1) = 0
Therefore, the solution to the system of equation is x=1 and x=0.
