Sunil is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.6x2 + 24x + 5 = 06x2 + 24x = –5

After moving the constant, Sunil has 6x² + 24x = −5. To complete the square, first make the coefficient of x² equal to 1 by factoring 6 out of the variable terms: 6(x² + 4x) = −5. Therefore, the next step is to factor 6 out of the variable terms.
