So to complete the square in
ax^2+bx+c=d form

make sure a=1
subtract c from both sides
take 1/2 of b and square it
add that to both sides
factor perfect square

1x^2-1x-2=0
a=1
move c to other side
add 2 to oth sides
x^2-1x=2
take 1/2 of b and square it
1/2 of -1=-1/2
squaer it
1/4
add that to both sides
x^2-1x+1/4=2+1/4
factor left side
(x-1/2)=2+1/4

first blank is 1/2

2+1/4=8/4+1/4=9/4

blanks are
1/2 and 9/4

Nya wants to buy a sweater that had an original price of $55. The sweater is now discounted 20% and the sales tax rate is 5.5%.
suter [353]

Answer:

$46.42

Step-by-step explanation:

a=price after discount (without sales tax)

a/55=20/100

100a=55·20

100a/100=1,100/100  (the 1,100 is from the 55·20)

You get 11 and then you have to subtract 11 from 55.

55-11=44, so a=44

Then you multiply 44·0.055         (you get 0.055 because you have to make 5.5% a decimal.  You get 2.42.

You add 2.42 and 44 and you get $46.42
