SOLUTION: How do I finish this? x^2+8x-3=0 x^2+8x=3 x^2+8x+64/4=3/1+64/4=12/4+64/4=76/4 x^2+8x+64/4=76/4 (x+8/2)^2=76/4 x+8/2=+ or - the square root of 76/4........ I got stuck right

Question 61604: How do I finish this? x^2+8x-3=0
x^2+8x=3
x^2+8x+64/4=3/1+64/4=12/4+64/4=76/4
x^2+8x+64/4=76/4
(x+8/2)^2=76/4
x+8/2=+ or - the square root of 76/4........
I got stuck right here.
