If we are eliminating x, we would multiply the 2nd equation by -5
5x + 18y = 23
x + 3y = 2....multiply by -5
-----------------
5x + 18y = 23
-5x - 15y = - 10 (result of multiplying by -5)
----------------add
0 + 3y = 13.....bye-bye x :)
So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19
I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..
So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.
4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0
for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)
Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.

The answer is B. 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Did the test and got it correct! PLEASEEE BRAINLIEST
16x + 21y = 555
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no. of 18-hole course
And y be the no. of golf balls
16x + 21y = 555
<span>To find the total loss for this play, take the two values, find their signs (positive or negative), then sum them. In this case, the play itself resulted in a movement of -12.5 yards, and the penalty added a -5 yard movement to the result. This would lead to a total movement of (-12.5 + [-5]), or -17.5 yards.</span>
