Tiffany Morrow · Answer 1

The question is

3x²+18x-8 = 0

Lie is solving the above quadratic equation by completing square, in the first step he takes 8 to the other of equation

3x²+18x = 8

In the next step, he takes the factor 3 out of the variable terms and divide it to the other side.

x²+6x = 8/3

Darnell Kerr · Answer 2

The answer is B

Lie factors out the 3.
