we'll start off by grouping some

so we have a missing guy at the end in order to get the a perfect square trinomial from that group, hmmm, what is it anyway?
well, let's recall that a perfect square trinomial is

so we know that the middle term in the trinomial, is really 2 times the other two without the exponent, well, in our case, the middle term is just "x", well is really -x, but we'll add the minus later, we only use the positive coefficient and variable, so we'll use "x" to find the last term.

so, there's our fellow, however, let's recall that all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add (1/2)², we also have to subtract (1/2)²
![\bf \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)=6\implies \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2=6 \\\\\\ \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=6+\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{25}{4}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{2}\implies \boxed{x=3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cleft%28%20x%5E2%20-x%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2-%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%5Cright%29%3D6%5Cimplies%20%5Cleft%28%20x%5E2%20-x%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%5Cright%29-%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%3D6%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cleft%28x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%29%5E2%3D6%2B%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cleft%28x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%29%5E2%3D%5Ccfrac%7B25%7D%7B4%7D%5Cimplies%20x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B%5Ccfrac%7B25%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7B25%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B4%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20x%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%2B%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20x%3D%5Ccfrac%7B6%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D3%7D)

Answer:
21; the age of the teacher
Step-by-step explanation:
15+x/2=18
Estimate - I estimated in the 20's because it only averaged up a little bit
Started with 23 and kept going until i got to my answer
21
15+21/2
36/2
18
Please mark brainliest :)
Answer:
No graph so we'll use the quadratic formula
x^2+x-4=0
a = 1
b = 1
c = -4
x = -1 +- sqr root (1^2 - 4 * 1 * -4) / 2
x = (-1 +- sqr root (1 +16) ) / 2
x1 = (-1 + sqr root (17)) / 2
x2 = (-1 - sqr root (17)) / 2
