The first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 8x2 + 80x = −5 by completing the square are shown.

8x2 + 80x = −5

8(x2 + 10x) = −5

8(x2 + 10x + 25) = −5 +

which number is missing in the last step?

200

Step-by-step explanation:

8x^2 + 80x = −5

Factor out an 8

8(x^2 + 10x) = −5

Take the coefficient of the x term, divide by 2 and then square it

10/2 = 5, 5^2=25

Remember we have the 8 outside, so we are multiplying by 8

8*25 =200

Add 200 to each side

8(x^2 + 10x + 25) = −5 + 200
