Answer:
a. add the equations to eliminate x
Step-by-step explanation:
this is called process of elimination
The distance from Dan's house to Samuel's house is 4 km
The distance from Dan to Samuel house, Dan to Cindy house and Samuel to Cindy house forms a right angled triangle.
Distance from Dan to Samuel house = x, Distance from Dan to Cindy house = 3 km and Distance from Cindy to Samuel house = 5 km
Pythagoras theorem shows the relationship between the lengths of a right angled triangle.
Using Pythagoras theorem:
5² = x² + 3²
25 = x² + 9
x² = 16
x = 4 km
Hence the distance from Dans house to Samuel's house is 4 km

Answer:
B. y = (x + 3)^2 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
When Andy completes the square, he adds and subtracts the square of half the x-coefficient. That is, he adds and subtracts (6/2)² = 9:
... y = x² +6x +9 -8 -9
... y = (x² +6x +9) -17
... y = (x +3)² -17 . . . . . . . . matches selection B
The coefficient is the number 6/7.
