X^2 + 24X = 50
you halve the linear term, square it and add it to both sides
X^2 + 24X + 144 = 50 + 144
factor the left side; gather terms on the right
(X + 12)^2 = 194
(X + 12)^2 - 194 = 0
so, either 144 is your number, or 194 is.
Sounds as a silly question to me as you complete the square to get the vertex of the polynomial. Which is;
(12,- 194) = wrong!!
Woops! Wrong! Made fudemental mistake! [ (- 12 + 12 ) = 0!! ] So, the vertex is;
(- 12, - 194 )

Since the first coefficient is already equal to 1, just take half the second coefficient (half of 14), then square the result. This must be the constant term on the left side.
