    Answer: c = 64

    In order to find the 'c' value to complete the square, you use the equation c = (b/2) ^2. Since 16 = b, c will equal 64. 16/2 = 8, and 8^2 = 64. The final resulting equation will be (x+8) ^2 = 82.

    You have to subtract 18 from both sides

    x^2 + 16x = 18

    x^2 + 16x (-18) = 18 - 18

    x^2 + 16x - 18 is your answer : D
