Sunil is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square. 6x2 + 24x + 5 = 0 6x2 + 24x = –5 What should Sunil do next? Isolate the variable x2. Isolate the constant. Factor 6 out of the variable terms. Subtract 24x from both sides of the equation.

Answer:

Factor 6 out of the variable terms.

6x^2 + 24x + 5 = 0

6x^2 + 24x = –5

Factor out the 6 on the left hand side

6 (x^2 +4x) = -5
