-2/8, you can simplify both -6 and 24 by 3 and get the appropriate answer
A is not an whole number because it is 2.6 which is a decimal
The answer is 
*Remember x=
You are technically dividing in this, whenever you divide anything with exponents, you subtract them. 
Therefore, the x's would cancel out, leaving just 
The coefficient of the x-term is -3. Add the square of half of that.
.. (-3/2)² = 9/4 . . . . . . the number you need to add.
x² -3x +9/4 = (x -3/2)²
_____
If the x² term has a coefficient other than 1, you need to factor that out first and deal with the remaining binomial. For example,
.. 2x² -6x = 2(x² -3x)
For this you would need to add 9/4 inside parentheses to get
.. 2(x² -3x +9/4) = 2(x -3/2)²
Of course, to keep the original value, you would need to subtract 2*(9/4) outside parentheses.
.. 2x² -6x = 2(x -3/2)² -9/2
Answer:
D) 132°
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+12=5x+57 subtract 5x from both sides
3x+12=57 subtract 12 from both sides
3x= 45 divide by 3 from both sides
X=15
5(15)+57=132°
