We have
x² + 24x = 17                          (1)

Note that
(x + 12)² = x² + 24x + 144
By adding 144 to the left side of equation (1), it becomes a perfect square.

Therefore
x² + 24x = (x+12)² - 144         (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
(x + 12)² - 144 = 17 
(x + 12)² = 17 +144
(x + 12)² = 161

Answer:
We added 144 to the left side of equation (1) in order to make it a perfect square.

GIVEN:

Cost of a taco and a cup of tea = $2.10

  • x + y = 2.10 ...(1)

Cost of 2 tacos and 3 cup of tea = $5.15

  • 2x + 3y = 5.15 ...(2)

ANSWER:

On solving eq(1), we get

  • x = 2.10 – y

Substitute the value of x in eq(2), we get

  • 2(2.10 – y) + 3y = 5.15
  • 4.20 – 2y + 3y = 5.15
  • y = 5.15 – 4.20
  • y = 0.95

So, x = 2.10 – 0.95

  • x = 1.15

Hence, Cost of a taco is $1.15

So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [E] $1.15
