Question 184959: x^2 + 6x -25 =0
answer: -3 +-sqrt(34)

any other method of solving this equation other then viaquadratic
x= -b+- sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a
need a full break down of how they got -3 +-sqrt(34)

Solve:
You can always solve a quadratic equation by:
a) The quadratic formula or
b) Completing the square.
Let's use the "completing-the-square" method.
Add 25 to both sides.
Now complete the square in x by adding the square of half the x-coefficient () to both sides of the equation.
Factor the left side and simplify the right side.
Now take the square root of both sides.
Finally, subtract 3 from both sides.
