Answer:

I believe the answer would be B) x^2 - 16x + 64 = -21 + 64

Step-by-step explanation:

When you're completing the square you take the "middle" term (in this case it's -16) and you divide it by two, then square it. By doing that for this problem you get 64 (16/2 = 8 - 8^2 = 64; signs don't matter in this case because you multiply 2 negatives). You have to add that 64 to BOTH sides so that the equation evens out.

Ultimately, with it factored, the answer will be (x-8)^2

Help me solve this problem.
irina [24]

We can write an equation to resemble the problem.

1160 = 170 + 50x

x equals the number of boxes he is carrying.

Solve for x.

1160 = 170 + 50x

990 = 50x

19.8 = x

We can't round up because that will be to much weight. So, we are going to round down.

19.8 -> 19

Therefore, the answer is 19.

Best of Luck!
