Subtract from both sides

Take 1/2 of the coefficient of ,
square it, and add it to both sides

The left side is now a perfect square, so rewrite it

Take the square root of both sides

Get all terms on the left side, leaving zero on the right

If you multiply these 2 expressions together,
you should get the above equation
You could also have used the quadratic formula
The answers should agree.
