Solve simple quadratic equations after factoring by completing the square

Reason For Learning

More tools for your quadratic factoring toolset! You will need to know how to complete the square so that 1). You can easily factor a quadratic and 2) you can express a quadratic in "turning point" form (more on that later!)

Learning Intention

Learn the method of completing the square, in order to produce a perfect square that can then be factored.
