    X^2 + 3x + 29 = 0

    To complete the square:

    Move "non-x" term to the right

    x^2 + 3x = - 29

    Divide equation by coefficient of x^2

    (the equation already had the x^2 coefficient as 1)

    Take coefficient of x

    divide it by 2

    square it

    add it to both sides of equation

    3

    3/2 = 1.5

    1.5^2 = 2.25

    x^2 + 3x + 2.25 = - 29 + 2.25

    Taking square root of both sides

    (x + 1.5) = sq root (-26.75)

    square roots of negative numbers are complex (I don't know how to do that).
