Completing the square.

2x^2-x-28 = 0
2(x^2 - 1/2 x) = 28
2(x^2 - 1/2 x + (1/4)^2) = 28 + 2(1/4)^2
2(x - 1/4)^2 = 225/8
(x - 1/4)^2 = 225/16
x - 1/4 = ±15/4
x = 1/4 ± 15/4
x = -7/2, 4
Okay, so I also got the same answer using the Quadratic Formula. Is that okay to happen?
it better happen!
There is only one correct answer...

Of course, the problem said to complete the square.
