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

X^2- 11 = 70 I need help on how to solve this
brilliants [131]

Answer: Add 11 to the other side of the equation, giving you 81. Then, since x is square you are going to need to square root both sides (\sqrt{x} this symbol). When you do that, you should get what x is! Let me know if you still need help!

The writing with me trying in pencil and the question is find the measure of each angle indicated
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

So a triangle has to be 180° overall And that is an equilateral triangle therefore every angle is equal so every angle inside is 60° so ?=60° another way you can find this out is a straight line is equal to 180° and since you have the external angle which equals 120° you do 180°-120° and get 60° and the 180°-60°-60°=60° and that’s your mystery angle. I hope that’s not too confusing.
