Answer:

k = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x  - sqrt(k) )^2              Expand this as a binomial                          

4x^2 - 4x*sqrt(k) + k      The middle term must be -20x Solve for k so it is

-4xsqrt(k) = - 20x            Divide by -4x

sqrt(k) = -20x/-4x             Do the division

sqrt(k) = 5                         Square both sides

k = 25

You are knitting a blanket. You want the area of the blanket to be 24 ft². You want the length of the blanket to be 2 feet longe
Finger [1]
With the facts you got here, you can make the following equation:

x*(x+2)=24

x^2+2x=24
x^2+2x-24=0

Then you can use the following formula (which you might have seen before):
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

where
ax^2+bx+c=0

(-2 +/- sqrt(4+96))/2
(-2 +/- 10)/2

x_1 = 4
x_2 = -6
