Multiple Choice

An inventory analyst is using the quadratic model 3x2−12x−15=03x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0 to determine the point of maximum efficiency for a warehouse sorting system. To solve this equation by completing the square, the analyst first simplifies it to x2−4x=5x^2 - 4x = 5. To find the constant value that must be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square, which algebraic formula must the analyst recall?
