If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation
x2 + 7x – 27 = 0, which number would have to be added to "complete the
square"?

To determine the constant that makes the expression (x² + kx) a perfect square,

Take the coefficient of the second term which is k and ÷2

In this case, it is (7/2)²

At the end it looks like

x² + 7x + (7/2)² = 27 + 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = 157/4
