X^2-14x+42=0  subtract 42 from both sides

x^2-14x=-42  halve the linear coefficient, square it, add it to both sides, in this case: (14/2)^2=7^2=49, add 49 to both sides

x^2-14x+49=7  now the left side is a perfect square...

(x-7)^2=7  take the square root of both sides

x-7=±√7   add 7 to both sides

x=7±√7

The above is the two solutions, 7+√7 and 7-√7

I am not sure what they mean by the proper form other than perhaps the point when you have a complete square as in the point in the process where you have a perfect square...

(x-7)^2=7

X^2 - 14x + 42 = 0
x^2 - 14x = -42
x^2 - 14x + 49 = 49 - 42
(x - 7)^2 = 7
x - 7 = (+-) sqrt 7
x = 7 (+-) sqrt 7

solutions are : x = 7 + sqrt 7 and x = 7 - sqrt 7

Line L passes through the point (-1, 1) and is PARALLEL to the line shown here. An equation of line L is
Pachacha [2.7K]
The problem cannot be fully solved because you did provide the line on which the line is parallel/ but i can give you the steps on how to solve it. first solve the slope of the parallel line by
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
then the slope of that line is equal to slope of line passing pooint ( -1 , 1)
then solve the y intercept of the line using
y = mx + b
where b is the y intercept
then you will have the equation of the line

Describe a time when someone around you made a decision based on authority of someone else?
dalvyx [7]
There was a time that a friend of mine got to a decision because the leader of the group said so (it was a group project). Although it was clear that he did not want to comply to the decision, he made it because it was what the leader said so.
