John is solving x^2 + 4x + 8=0 by completing the square. Which step would be part of John's solution.?

(x + 4)^2 = - 4
(x+2)^2 = - 4
(x+4)^2 = - 8
(x + 2)^2 = - 8

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex](x + 2) ^{2} = - 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {x}^{2} + 4x + 8 = 0 \\ {x }^{2} + 4x = - 8 \\ {x}^{2} + 4x + 4 = - 8 + 4 \\ ( x + 2)^{2} = - 4[/tex]
