When you factor out a number from each term, you divide that number by each term.

Answer 6

I think you were doing it right. You just needed to understand how to find the middle term.

I just don't know what to do after I find that term. I seem to be having a mental block

You just have to find the complete square by adding (b/2)^2 and then reducing the terms to the form (x-a)^2
