Which of the following tables shows the correct steps to transform x2 + 4x + 3 = 0 into the form (x - p)2 = q?
[p and q are integers]
a.Step 1 x2 + 4x + 3 + 1 = 0 + 1
Step 2 x2 + 4x + 4 = 1
Step 3 (x + 2)2 = 1
b.Step 1 x2 + 4x + 3 - 1 = 0 - 1
Step 2 x2 + 4x + 2 = -1
Step 3 (x + 2)2 = -1
c.Step 1 x2 + 4x + 3 - 2 = 0 - 2
Step 2 x2 + 4x + 1 = -2
Step 3 (x + 2)2 = -2
d.Step 1 x2 + 4x + 3 + 2 = 0 + 2
Step 2 x2 + 4x + 5 = 2
Step 3 (x + 2)2 = 2
