Step 1.equation in standard form and get rid of the constant by moving to the equal side.



Step 2. Make sure squared term has a 1 in front. i.e x^2 not 3x^2. If it is not, then divide by that number to both sides.

Step 3. Take half the linear term ( the one with the X) square it, and add it to both sides.

Step 4.write the as a perfect square. (x+a)^2

Step 5. Square root both sides, making sure to add + or - sign.

Step 6. add/subtract to isolate the X.

Step 7. Write down both solutions and solve. If the square is not solvable, leave as is!

Step 1. Take any standard form equation put the linear term and constant in a X. Put the constant on top of the X, and the linear term on the bottom.



Step 2. When you have done this, try to find two numbers that can multiply into the constant, and can ALSO add up to the linear term.

Step 3. Take the squared term, the two numbers that can multiply/add into the constant and linear term, and the constant and put into a square.

Step 4. for common variables and terms between the numbers in a row. this might be confusing, so i will make the i.e big!

Step 5. Put the common factors of each of the numbers and put it into this form.

Step 6. Add, subtract, or divide to get the variable term by itself. Now, you solve.
