Answer: You would add 9/4

Step-by-step explanation: To complete the square, you first remove the constant from the left side and move it to the right, so subtract 20 on each side . Then, divide the coefficient to the second term by two and square that answer (3/2)^2. Add that new term to both sides and viola! Your square is completed.
