2. (x + 2)² = 3
3. (x + 6)² =
4. (x + 3)² = 27

6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Completion of Square:
In the following problems the terms in the RHS of the above equation may be missing. We balance the equation. Simplify it and re write it in terms of LHS.
1. x² - 6x + 1 = 0
Taking the constant term to the other side, we get:
x² - 6x = - 1
⇒ x² - 2(3)x = -1
⇒ x² -2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9 [Adding 9 to both the sides]
⇒ x² -2(3)x + 3² = 8
⇒ (x - 3)² = 8 is the answer.
2. 3x² + 12x + 3 = 0
Note that the co-effecient of x² is not 1. We make it 1, by dividing the whole equation by 3. And then proceed like the previous problem.
3x² + 12x = -3
Dividing by 3 through out, x² + 4x = - 1
⇒ x² + 2(2) + 4 = -1 + 4
⇒ x² +2(2) + 2² = 3
⇒ (x + 2)² = 3 is the answer.
3. 2x² + 24x = 29
x² + 12x =
⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 36 = + 36
⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 6² =
⇒ (x + 6)² = is the answer.
4. x² + 6x - 18 = 0
x² + 6x = 18
⇒ x² + 2(3)x = 18
⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 18 + 9
⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 3² = 27
⇒ (x + 3)² = 27 is the answer.
5. x² + 8x + 3 = 0
x² + 8x = -3
⇒ x² + 2(4)x = -3
⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16
⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 13
⇒ (x + 4)² = 13 is the answer.
6. 9x² - 30x + 6 = 0
9x² - 30x = - 6
⇒ x² x = - 6
is the answer.
<u>Answer:</u>
The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numerator. The original fraction is
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that
Denominator of fraction is 4 more than the numerator.
Let’s say numerator of fraction be represented by variable x.
So denominator of a faction as it is four more that numerator will be x + 4
Also given if both decreased by three than simplified result is
Solving above equation for x
=> 7(x – 3 ) = 6 ( x + 1 )
=> 7x – 21 = 6x + 6
=> 7x – 6x = 6 + 21
=> x = 27
Numerator of fraction = x = 27
Denominator of fraction = x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31
Hence the original fraction is
