Answer: 6(x - (23/2))² = 14x + 1044

Explanation:

First, we need to move all the terms to one side of the equation:

6x² - 46x - 312 - 14x = 0

Next, we need to factor out the coefficient of the x² term:

6(x² - (46/6)x) - 312 - 14x = 0

Simplifying:

6(x² - 23x) - 312 - 14x = 0

To complete the square, we need to add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of the x-term inside the parentheses:

6[(x - (23/2))² - (23/2)²] - 312 - 14x = 0

Simplifying:

6(x - (23/2))² - 6(23/2)² - 312 - 14x = 0

Expanding the square term:

6(x - (23/2))² - 1044 - 14x = 0

Finally, adding 1044 to both sides and simplifying:

6(x - (23/2))² = 14x + 1044

The intermediate step after completing the square is:

6(x - (23/2))² = 14x + 1044
