I can show you the way I do it

Subtract from both sides

Divide both sides by

Take of the coefficient of the
term, then square it, then add it
to both sides
-----------------------------------

Believe it or not, both sides are now perfect squares!

Take the square root of both sides

And, using the negative square root of the right side,

--------------
So, the factoring would be:

Multiply both sides by

Divide both sides by

whew! This is a difficult one, but the
method is always the same
