Answer: Add 9 to both sides to complete the square

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the number you need to add to complete the square is (b/2)^2. In this case, b = -6, so:

(b/2)^2 = (-6/2)^2 = (-3)^2 = 9.

(After adding 9 to both sides, you will get x^2 - 6x + 9 = 14 which can be factored to (x - 3)^2 = 14)
