To complete the square of x^2 + 6x + 17, you need to add (6/2)^2 = 9 to the expression. This is because half of the coefficient of x is 6/2 = 3, and squaring that gives you 9. So the completed square is x^2 + 6x + 9 + 17 = (x + 3)^2 + 17.
Since there are only terms in x2 and constants, but none in x, completing the square is not an option! x2 - 14 = 7 x2 = 21 and so x2 = sqrt(21)

The idea is to take half the linear part (12, in this case), then square it. The constant part must be equal to this result.
square root -5 minus 14 or - square root -5 minus 14
The constant term - the part without a variable - must be equal to the square of one half the linear term - the number in front of the "x". That is, it must be (12/2)2 = 36.
