Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


First lets change the fractions so they have common denominators:
3/5 = 6/10
The bank was 1/10, after adding the pennies it was 6/10
6/10 - 1/10 = 5/10 = 1/2
This means 400 pennies filled 1/2 the piggy bank.
There are 2 halves (1/2) to a whole ( full piggy bank).
The piggy bank can hold 400 x 2 = 800 pennies.

Answer:
B. (x-2)^2=12
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant that completes the square is the square of half the coefficient of the x-term. That value is (-4/2)^2 = 4.
There is already a constant of 2 on the left side of the equal sign, so we need to add 2 to both sides to bring that constant value up to 4.
x^2 -4x +2 = 10 . . . . . . . given
x^2 -4x +2 +2 = 10 +2 . . . . complete the square (add 2 to both sides)
(x -2)^2 = 12 . . . . . . . . . write as a square
