1. Write the equation in a way that the constants are in the right side while the terms with x are on the left. <span>9x2 +54x = 7 </span> 2. Make sure that the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1. <span>9(x2 + 6x) = 7 </span> 3. Adding a term to both sides that will complete the square in the left side. This is done by dividing the coefficient of the x term by 2 and squaring it. Note: The same amount should be added to the right side to balance the equation. <span>9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 7 + 81
