The answer is a² + 6. "Sum of a squared and 6" means you square a value and then add 6 to it.
The correct answer is D. Why?
In that phase of solving he can not know that integers on each side will be equal or not.
Good luck!!!
In this equation w = -1.1
In order to find this, get all w values to the right side and all numbers to the left side.
-2.27 + 9.1w + 1.3w = -3.4w - 17.45 ----> combine like terms
-2.27 + 10.4w = -3.4w - 17.45 ----> add 3.4w to both sides
-2.27 + 13.8w = -17.45 ----> add 2.27 to both sides
13.8w = -15.18 -----> divide both sides by 13.8
w = -1.1
