would you like to do an example? \[x^2+6x-2=0\] \[x^2+6x=2\] \[(x+3)^2=2+3^2=2+9=11\] \[x+3=\pm\sqrt{11}\] \[x=-3\pm\sqrt{11}\]

if you repeat the method with \[ax^2+bx+c=0\] you get \[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

Totally forgot that this is how you get the last formula :-) Good to come here
