4 will be added to make the given expression a perfect square

Further explanation:

Given term is:

$x^2-4x$

As there is a square term and a linear term involving x, the expression will be completed using the formula

$a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$

We know that

a^2=x^2

so,

$2ab=4x\\2xb=4x\\b=\frac{4x}{2x}\\b=2$

Adding (2)^2

$x^2-4x+(2)^2$

$x^2-4x+4$

4 will be added to make the given expression a perfect square

8/15 divided by 1/3 reduce your answer

klio [65]

Here we can use fact than we can multiply fraction by inverse of fraction instead of dividing it.
Inverse of 1/3 is 3/1
Lets multiply it
$\frac{8}{15}* \frac{3}{1}= \frac{24}{15}= \frac{24:3}{15:3}= \frac{8}{5}=1 \frac{3}{5}$ - its our result
