x² - 2x -35=0 solve each equation by competing the square
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x + ____ = 35
\n" ); document.write( "Find the value that will complete the square, half the coefficient of x, squared
\n" ); document.write( "it's 1, add to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x + 1 = 35 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 1)^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Find the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x - 1 = +/- \"sqrt%2836%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = -5 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
