Answer:
6 months, i used the equation from part a so i know it’s right
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 15 + 12x = 87
b) 12x = 87-15=72
72/12 = 6
The pattern is:
( a - b )² = a² - 2 a b + b² ( square of last term of binomial - the missing term)
x² - 2 · 8 · x + 8² = x² - 16 x + 64 = ( x - 8 )²
The missing term is: 64
Um sounds nice i guess its kind of funny simplify hairy fractions
