The answer is 108 ? i think
The coefficient of the x-term is -3. Add the square of half of that.
.. (-3/2)² = 9/4 . . . . . . the number you need to add.
x² -3x +9/4 = (x -3/2)²
_____
If the x² term has a coefficient other than 1, you need to factor that out first and deal with the remaining binomial. For example,
.. 2x² -6x = 2(x² -3x)
For this you would need to add 9/4 inside parentheses to get
.. 2(x² -3x +9/4) = 2(x -3/2)²
Of course, to keep the original value, you would need to subtract 2*(9/4) outside parentheses.
.. 2x² -6x = 2(x -3/2)² -9/2

EXPLANATION: 20.5ft x 16.4ft = 336.2
.
.
336.2 divided by 200= 1.68 gallons.
.
.
We cannot buy 1.68 gallons of paint and so the minimum we can buy is 2 gallons
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
<u>Area</u> = 2(1/2 × 5 × 5) + 20 × 10
= 2 × 12.5 + 200
= 25 + 200
= 225ft².
