Question

To solve x^(2)+4x=3 by completing the square, add to both sides of the equation.

Answer 1

First, you need to identify the coefficient of the 'x' term in your equation, which is 4.

Next, you'll divide this coefficient by 2. So we have 4 divided by 2 which is equal to 2.

Now, you'll square the number you just computed. The square of 2 is 4. This is the value you would add to both sides of your equation to complete the square. Therefore, x^(2)+4x+4=3+4.
