What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)^2 = b as a result of completing the square for the following equation? 5x^2 - 360 = -60x

Assuming you are speaking of the Real Numbers…

x^2+66=14x+15

x^2 - 14x + ?? = -51

x^2 - 14x + (half of -14 squared) = -51 + (half of -14 squared)

x^2 - 14x + 49 = -51 + 49

(x - 7)^2 = -2

By the way, in the real number system, you can’t square any number and get a negative so the above equation has no solution. If you allowed for complex solutions…there would be two of those.

Sorry don't know the answer.
