Completing the square is a process to find the solutions, or the x-values, to a quadratic equation. This method can only work if it is in the format: x^2 + bx = c
In this equation, the b value is -12 and the c value is -6. The process for completing the square goes like this:
x^2 + bx + (b/2)^2 = c + (b/2)^2
Now let’s solve the equation above using this method.
Step 1: x^2 - 12x + (-12/2)^2 = -6 + (-12/2)^2
Step 2: x^2 - 12x + (-6)^2 = -6 + (-6)^2
Step 3: x^2 - 12x + 36 = -6 + 36
Step 4: x^2 - 12x + 36 = 30
Now, to factor it. After doing the process until now, the left side of the equation can ALWAYS be in the format: (x + a)^2
Step 5: x^2 - 12x + 36 can be factored in this format as (x - 6)^2
Step 6: (x - 6)^2 = 30
Step 7: x - 6 = √30
Step 8: x = 6 ±√30

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can solve for x by expanding the parentheses and isolating x.
<h3>Solve for x</h3>
- 3x - 2(2x - 5) = 2(x + 3)-8
- 3x - 4x + 10 = 2x + 6 - 8
- -x + 10 = 2x - 2
- 10 = 3x - 2
- 12 = 3x
- x = 4
The value of x is 4.
