The equation for which square method is possible is x²-8=1
Step-by-step explanation:
For checking which of the equation satisfies the complete square condition, we proceed by checking each of the available options
1). x²+20x=52
Rewriting it as x²+20x-52
This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 1) and independent constant (i.e. 52) is not a perfect square.
2). 5x² + 3x = 9
This equation can be rearranged as 5x²+3x-9=0
This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 5) and independent constant(i.e. 9) is not a perfect square.
3.) x² −8=1
This equation can be rearranged as x²=9
Hence x= ±3
This binomial expression is a perfect square and can be done by the square method.
4). 3x² −x+17=0
This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 3) and independent constant(i.e. 17) is not a perfect square.
Answer: Add 9 to both sides to complete the square
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the number you need to add to complete the square is (b/2)^2. In this case, b = -6, so:
(b/2)^2 = (-6/2)^2 = (-3)^2 = 9.
(After adding 9 to both sides, you will get x^2 - 6x + 9 = 14 which can be factored to (x - 3)^2 = 14)
Men: 132

Children: 36
Total: 258
Answer:
C)
Step-by-step explanation:
The one with the line that has a steep positive slope. (The slope is the x-coefficient, 3.5. This means the line goes up 3.5 units for each unit it goes to the right.)
