Answer:
a = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1 - 2a) = -3a - 18
3 - 6a = - 3a - 18
Add 18 to each side:
3 + 18 - 6a = - 3a - 18 + 18
21 - 6a = - 3a
Add 6a to each side:
21 - 6a + 6a = - 3a + 6a
21 = 3a
3a = 21
Divide each side by 3:
3a ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3
a = 7
Answer:
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.
x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.
Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.
y = x^2 - 6x - 8
y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
