Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Equations (Section 6 - No. 48)

When using completing the square, which steps lead to finding the new equation?

Factor the coefficient of the x² term out from the x² and x terms.

Move the constant term to the other side.

Take half of the coefficient of the x term, square it, and add and subtract it on the same side.

Rewrite the left side as a perfect square trinomial.

This process helps in finding the solution.
