Steps to Solving usingCompleting the Square • If a does not equal one, divide every term by a • Move the constant to the other side. • Take ‘b’, divide by 2 and square it. Add that number to both sides of the equation. • Factor the perfect square trinomial. • Solve by using the Square Root Property. (Don’t forget + and - roots.)
