Lie is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square. 3 x squared plus 18 x minus 8 is equal to 0 3 x squared plus 18 x is equal to 8 What should Lie do next?

The equation is already written as 3x² + 18x = 8. To complete the square, first make the coefficient of x² equal to 1 by factoring 3 out of the variable terms: 3(x² + 6x) = 8. Then Lie can proceed to add the value needed to complete the square inside the parentheses.
