What is quadratic equation?

The polynomial having a degree of two or the maximum power of the variable in a polynomial will be 2 is defined as the quadratic equation and it will cut two intercepts on the graph at the x-axis.

Given equation is:-

x² - 8x = 5

x² - 8x + 16  = 5 + 16

x² - 4x -4x + 16  = 5 + 16

x ( x - 4 ) -4 (x - 4 ) = 21

( x - 4 )²  =  21

Therefore to make a perfect square we will add 16 on both sides of the given equation.
