Answer:

C. (x - 3)² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

x² - 6x  + 8 = 0

Using completing the square method, the equation above is solved as follows;

x² - 6x  = - 8

Half the coefficient of 'x' (-6), square the result and add it to both sides of the equation;

Half of coefficient of x (-6) = ¹/₂ (-6)  = -3

x² + (-3)² = -8 + (-3)²

(x - 3)² = -8 + 9

(x - 3)² = 1

Thus, the correct option is 'C'

C. (x - 3)² = 1
