Step-by-step explanation:
"to complete the square"
add# (1/2" coefficient of x-term")^2" to both sides"
"that is add "(-6/2)^2=9" to both sides"
rArrx^2+2(-3)xcolor(red)(+9)=16color(red)(+9)
rArr(x-3)^2=25
color(blue)"take the square root of both sides"
x-3=+-5larr" note plus or minus"
rArrx=3+-5
rArrx=3-5" or "x=3+5
rArrx=-2" or "x=8
