x 2 + 6x + 8 = 0
€
x 2 + 6x = −8

€
x 2 + 6x + 9 = −8 + 9
€
x 2 + 6x + 9 =1

€
x + 3( )2
= ± 1
€
x + 3 = ±1
€
x + 3 =1 or x + 3 = −1
€
x = −2 or x = −4
Start with your equation
Move the # term to the other side, and leave a space
Determine what HALF of the coefficient of X is
Factor the left side
Write the left side as a single factor squared
Take the square root of both sides
Simplify each square root
Set the left side equal to each answer from the right
Solve each of the equations for X
Combine like terms on the right side of the equation
Square that number, and add it to both sides
Completing the Square

x 2 − 8x − 33 = 0
€
x 2 − 8x = 33
€
− 4
€
x 2 − 8x +16 = 33 +16
€
x 2 − 8x +16 = 49
€
x − 4( ) x − 4( ) = 49
€
x − 4( )2
= 49
€
x − 4( )2
= ± 49
€
x − 4 = ±7
€
x − 4 = 7 or x − 4 = −7
