Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
2x² +21x-61 = (x+7)²
expand
2x² + 21x - 61 = x² + 14x +49
move everything to one side
x² + 7x - 12 = 0
use quadratic formula

plug in the values

solve






now, with that template above in mind, let's see this one

A=3, B=1, shrunk by AB or 3 units, about 1/3
C=2, horizontal shift by C/B or 2/1 or just 2, to the left
D=4, vertical shift upwards of 4 units
check the picture below
163-x=-52
first subtract 163 and you get -215
now it looks like -x=-215
then the negative signs cancel out and its now x=215
R S + 14(S) R=6 S=1/4
(6)(1/4) + 14(1/4)
1.5 + 14(1/4)
1.5 + 3.5
