Which of the following tables shows the correct steps to transform x2 + 10x + 24 = 0 into the form (x - p) 2 = q? [p and q are integers] Step 1 x2 + 10x + 24 - 1 = 0 - 1 Step 2 x2 + 10x + 23 = - 1 Step 3 (x + 5) 2 = - 1 Step 1 x2 + 10x + 24 - 2 = 0 - 2 Step 2 x2 + 10x + 22 = - 2 Step 3 (x + 5) 2 = - 2 Step 1 x2 + 10x + 24 + 2 = 0 + 2 Step 2 x2 + 10x + 26 = 2 Step 3 (x + 5) 2 = 2 Step 1 x2 + 10x + 24 + 1 = 0 + 1 Step 2 x2 + 10x + 25 = 1 Step 3 (x + 5) 2 = 1
