We do completing the square as follows:
Write the equation in such a way that the constants are on one side.
<span>x^2 + 2x = 13
We add a number to both sides that will complete the square on the side which contains the variable x.
</span><span>x^2 + 2x + 1 = 13 +1
We factor the side which contains the variable x.
(x+1)^2 = 14
Therefore, we should add 1 in order to complete the square from the given equation.</span>
F I think so and thank you
A: 40
Let’s do this problem backwards.
TOTAL BOOKS RN: 36
1)
“Jill... then bought 16 more...”
36 - 16 = 20
After subtracting that amount, we would end up with half of the books Jill DID NOT sell.
2)
2 • 20 = 40
At this point, we multiplied amount of books she had after she sold half of her comic books by the reciprocal of 1/2
And now you have your answer!
In a step by step fashion you solve the problem like so:
Move terms:
3f+2=8-3f
Combine like terms:
3f+3f=8-2
Divide
6f=6
Solution
f=1
