Question

. Question 1.1. What is the first step in solving x2 + 2x + 3 = 0 by completing the square?. (Points : 1). Factor the left side.. . Add 1 to each side of the equation.. . Divide both sides of the equation by 2.. . Subtract 3 from each side of the equation..

Answer 1

u r going to subtract 3 from each side of the equation....leaving you with :
x^2 + 2x = -3

Answer 2

the first step to solving an equaiton of the formax2+bx+c = 0is by completing the square by first dividing by a, givingx2+bx/a+c/a = 0
then subtract c/a to both sides.

In this regard, the first step to the equation is to C. . Subtract 3 from each side of the equation..
