The form (x - p)^2 = q is the form that completing the square will leave us with.
---Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 8x = 5
---Divide the b term by 2, and square it. Then, add that number to both sides.
-8/2 = -4
(-4)^2 = 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 5 + 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 21
---Factor!
(x - 4)^2 = 21
p = 4
q = 21
Hope this helps!! :)
Do you mean something like y<21?
Answer:
1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/8 - 1 7/8
I like to line them up vertically
3 1/8
- 1 7/8
---------------
We need to borrow from the 3
Take 1 from the 3 and make it 8/8
2 (1/8+8/8)
- 1 (7/8)
---------------------
2 (9/8)
- 1 (7/8)
---------------------
1 2/8
Simplify the fraction by dividing by 2 on the top and bottom

Answer:
The correct answer is 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l inches and w inches be the length and width of a rectangle respectively.
According to the given problem, l - 8 =
.
Area of the rectangle is given to be, according to the question, 18 square inches.
Thus l × w = 18
⇒ l × (2l - 16) = 18
⇒ 2
- 16l - 18 = 0
⇒
- 8l - 9 = 0
⇒ ( l - 9) ( l + 1) = 0
The possible values of l are 9 and -1. As the length cannot be equal to -1, thus the value of the length is 9 inches.
Width of the rectangle is 2 inches.
