Take the coefficient of the x-term, half it, then square that. add this to both sides

x² + 16x. coefficient of x is 16. half of 16 is 8. 8²=64

x² + 16x + 64 =64. this is your answer but to continue

x² + 16x + 64 = 64
(x+8)² = 64
x+8 = ✓64
x+ 8 = ±8
x = 0 or -16

2. JI. has coordinates J(-6, 1) and Z(-4, 3). Find the coordinates of the midpoint.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(- 5, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 3) thus

midpoint = $\frac{-6-4}{2}$ , $\frac{1+3}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{-10}{2}$ , $\frac{4}{2}$ ) = (- 5, 2 )

108 is 36% of what number? Write and solve a proportion to solve the problem

kolezko [41]

Let the number = x

Then, it would be: (x*36)/100 = 108

x*36 = 10800

x = 10800/36

x = 300
