Set equal to the square of the
sum of the square roots of the first and third terms
x²'s and 64s cancel

You can use the main action for an expression or for an equation.

---------------------
Perfect-square Form:: (x+y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2
----
Notice::The 2nd term is the product of 2 times sqrt(1st term)*sqrt(last term)
x^2 + dx + 64
2nd term = 2(sqrt(x^2))(sqrt(64)) = 2x*8 = 16x
Ans: x^2 + 16x + 64
d = 16
------------------------------------
and
x^2 + dx + 49/4
2nd = 2(sqrt(x^2)*sqrt(49/4) = 2x*(7/2) = 7x
Ans: x^2 + 7x + (49/4)
d = 7
