Let f (x) be a quadratic equation of the form:

x^2+bx+c\\

Where b and c are real numbers.

So a generic procedure for completing squares is:

1) identify b

In this case b = 10

2) divide b between 2 and then square it

(\frac{b}{2})^ 2\\

(\frac{10}{2})^ 2=25\\

3) Add and subtract b ^ 2 in the equation

x ^2+10x + 25 - 25 = 50\\

x ^ 2 + 10x +25 = 75\\

4) Rewrite the equation as follows

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=c\\

(x + 5) ^ 2 = 75\\

The number that you must add to both sides of the equation is number 25 = (\frac{b}{2})^2

Veronica got 3 times as many gifts as Natalie. Together Veronica and Natalie got a total of 12 gifts how many gifts did Natalie
fenix001 [56]
The equation we'll use for this is:Total Gifts = Veronica's Gifts (v) + Natalie's Gifts (n).
12 = v + n
The problem says Veronica got 3 times as many gifts as Natalie.
You can directly translate this into an equation!
v = 3 * n = 3n.  This means we can replace any v with 3n.
So, 12 = v + n = 3n + n = 4n
12 = 4n
3 = n.  Natalie got 3 gifts.
We can now plug back in for Veronica's gifts:
v = 3n
v = 3(3)
v = 9.  Veronica got 9 gifts.
