Step 1: Move the constant term to the RHS
Step 2: Divide by the lead coefficient
Step 3: Divide the 1st degree coefficient by 2, square the result, and add that result to both sides of the equation. 
is the 1st degree coefficient. Divide by 2: 
. Square: 
Step 4: Factor the perfect square trinomial in the LHS:
^2\ =\ \frac{b^2}{4a^2}\ -\ \frac{c}{a})
Step 5: Apply the LCD in the RHS
^2\ =\ \frac{b^2\ -\ 4ac}{4a^2})
Step 6: Take the square root of both sides. Remember to consider both positive and negative roots.
Step 7: Add the opposite of the constant term in the RHS to both sides:
Of course, when you do it with a problem that has specific numbers rather than general representations of the coefficients, you have to do the arithmetic and simplify the answer as much as possible.
