Or C

Pixel:

im not sure

Shadow:

It's not D. Since it's equal to zero, you could use the zero product property and just find (x + ?)(x + ?) then solve from there. For B, you could just add 8 to both sides than take the square root. x = pm 3

Pixel:

so its B?

Pixel:

Shadowww

Shadow:

Why is it B?

Pixel:

you said B

Pixel:

oh wait

Pixel:

*face desk*

Pixel:

C?

Shadow:

Yeah I said you could add 8 to both sides, then take the square root of both sides. That means that you would be using the square root property, not completing the square.

Shadow:

When completing the square, the first step is to ensure that the constant is on the other side of the equals sign, and also that x^2 is alone. So given that, what might be the best answer choice?

Shadow:

You're guessing. Use your brain.

Pixel:

No c was my second choice

Shadow:

Second *guess

Pixel:

choice

Shadow:

k whatever. So since A has a coefficient, we should go with C. If we were to complete the square with A, we would have to divide the entire equation by 5, which is just more work.

Pixel:

jesus you coulda just said yes

Shadow:

You need to learn though.

Shadow:

How else will you achieve your plans of world domination?

Pixel:

that is your plan

Pixel:

not mine

Shadow:

Lol
