To complete the square:
we take the coefficient ox "x" (which in this problem is -20)
we divide it by 2
square that number
then add it to both sides of the equation
-20 / 2 = -10
-10^2 = 100
then we add 100 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 -20x
x^2 -20x +100 = 100
******************************************************
To get the roots of the equation, we take the square root of both sides:
(x -10) * (x-10) = 10
(x-10) = square root (10)
x-10 =

Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
m=8x4 n=3x4 so that is the answer
I am doing with Question Number 2
Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.
According to the question, the product of two numbers is 14.
So, xy=14 (Equation 1)
Now, one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other.
So, 
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of 'x' from equation 2 in equation 1, we get
So, y= 2 and -2
So, 
and 
x=7 and -7
Numbers are 2,7 and -2,-7.
Sum of numbers 2 and 7 = 9
Sum of numbers -2 and -7 = -9.
The surface area would be 68 squared inches. I hope this helps!
