Which equation would you get by completing the square and factoring the equation below?
x2 + 10x + 16 = 0

I got the order pairs of (2,8) but how the heck do I find the answer to this question? Answer choice:

A. (x + 5)(x + 5) = 9
B. (x + 10)(x + 10) = -25
C. (x + 10)(x - 10) = 0
D. (x - 5)(x - 5) = -9

I got the order pairs by factoring but whats the next step?

anonymous · Answer

it is not asking you to factor, unfortunately, it is asking you to complete the square
do you know how to do that?

anonymous · Answer

Hmm, not sure but I can learn today no biggie. If you don't mind lol

i can walk you through it if you like
step one: subtract $16$ from both sides
