Here is the equation:

PART A -
step 1 = rewrite the equation as

The blanks are waiting for numbers.
step 2 - take 1/2 of middle term and square it to get (-2)^2 = 4. Put that number in the first blank as:

step 3 - place 4 in the blank of the other side as

step 4 - rewrite the left side as a quantity squared and simplify the right side to get

PART B -
take square root of both sides to get

add 2 to both sides
