To put an equation into (x+c)^2, we need to see if the trinomial is a perfect square.
General form of a trinomial: ax^2+bx+c
If c is a perfect square, for example (1)^2=1, 2^2=4, that's a good indicator that it's a perfect square trinomial.
Here, it is, because 1 is a perfect square.
To ensure that it's a perfect square trinomial, let's look at b, which in this case is 2.
It has to be double what c is.
2 is the double of 1, therefore this is a perfect square trinomial.
Knowing this, we can easily put it into the form (x+c)^2.
And the answer is: (x+1)^2.
To do it the long way:
x^2+2x+1
Find 2 numbers that add to 2 and multiply to 1.
They are both 1.
x^2+x+x+1
x(x+1)+1(x+1)
Gather like terms
(x+1)(x+1)
or (x+1)^2.
Hey there
__________
The correct answer is
Whatever each CD costs, what each person paid is that cost times the number of CDs purchased (no sales tax for this problem).
So, the price of one CD is a factor of $66 (a number of $ that divides $66 evenly).
In theory, it could be $1, $2, $3, $6, $11, $22, $66.
It could even be $0.50, $0.25, $0.20, $0.10, $0.05,...
Also, the price of one CD must be a factor of $54. such as $54,$27,$18,$9,$6,$3,$2,$1,... .
You are looking for the most that price could be.
The grew greatest price that is in both lists is $6.
How can you make those lists?
You can start with the total price, then the price divided by 2, by 3, by whatever whole number you can divide it.
Otherwise, you could find the greatest common factor of 66 and 54
from the prime factorization of both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:
The total bill will be the sum of the rent and the cost for the total time spent.
$15 + $6 * 2.5
$15 + $15
$30
