Answer:
m = - 8 ± 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
m² + 16m - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
m² + 16m = 8
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the m- term )² to both sides
m² + 2(8)m + 64 = 8 + 64
(m + 8)² = 72 ( take the square root of both sides )
m + 8 = ± = ±
= ± 6
Subtract 8 from both sides
m = - 8 ± 6
