Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given x² - 6x - 21 = 0 ( add 21 to both sides )

x² - 6x = 21

to complete the square

• add ( half the coefficient of the x-term)² to both sides

x² + 2 (- 3)x +9 = 21 + 9

(x - 3)² = 30 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{30} ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± \sqrt{30}

x = 3 - \sqrt{30} = - 2.48 ( to 2 dec. places ) or

x = 3 + \sqrt{30} = 8.48 ( to 2 dec. places )
