Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form
x2 + bx = c.

-8 and 9

Add _ to each side x2 – 8x = 9 to complete the square.

16

Now that you have x² - 8x + 16 = 9 + 16, apply the square root property to the equation.

(x - 4)^2 = 25

Choose the solutions to the quadratic equation
x2 – 8x – 9 = 0.
