When solving a quadratic equation by completing the square, we first take the constant term to the other side of the equation and create a perfect square trinomial with the quadratic term and the linear term. This is done by adding to both sides of the equation, the square of half the coefficient of the linear term (the term whose variable is not squared). Then the perfect square trinomial is evaluated and then we solve for the variable to get the solution(s) to the quadratic equation.\n
