What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)^2=b as a result of completing the square for the following equation?

4x ^2 +47x+104=7x

1 answer

The intermediate step is to move the constant term to the other side of the equation.

Rewriting the equation:
4x^2 + 47x + 104 - 7x = 0

Simplifying:
4x^2 + 40x + 104 = 0
