The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\frac{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 84}{24}$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = a \left(m + x\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = \frac{1}{24}$$
$$b = - \frac{5}{24}$$
$$c = - \frac{7}{2}$$
Then
$$m = - \frac{5}{2}$$
$$n = - \frac{361}{96}$$
So,
$$\frac{\left(x - \frac{5}{2}\right)^{2}}{24} - \frac{361}{96}$$
