This document provides instructions to complete the square for several quadratic equations: (1) 3x^2 - 12x - 20 = 0, (2) 3x^2 - 5x = 12, (3) 2x^2 + x = 2, and (4) 4x^2 + 12x = 9. It also asks the reader to determine whether each equation will have two real solutions, one real solution, or no real solutions based on completing the square. Finally, it references making the process of completing the square more formal using the quadratic formula.
