Identifying Mathematical Properties in Technical Maintenance

An HVAC technician is solving the quadratic equation 3x2+2x=43x^2 + 2x = 4 to determine the required pressure balance for a commercial ventilation system. After completing the square and factoring the left side, the technician arrives at the following step:

(x + rac{1}{3})^2 = rac{13}{9}

State the name of the specific mathematical property the technician must now apply to both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent and continue solving for xx.
