3k%5E2=8k%2B8
3k%5E2-8k=8
3%28k%5E2-8k%2F3%29=8
3%28k%5E2-8k%2F3%2B%288%2F%282%2A3%29%29%5E2%29=8%2B3%288%2F%282%2A3%29%29%5E2, the completing the square step
3%28k-8%2F6%29%5E2=8%2B3%288%2F6%29%5E2
%28k-4%2F3%29%5E2=8%2B%284%2F3%29%5E2

(1) 3k^2 = 8k+8
3k^2-8k-8 = 0
k = 2.828427 or 0.6666667
(2)4m^2+10m-5 = 0
m = 0.427051 or -2.927051

The solution to equation (1), given by the person @saw, " k = 2.828427 or 0.6666667 ", is WRONG.

The correct answer/numbers are k = 3.441518 or k = -0.77485.
