What number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square? x2 - 6x = 5

Answer:

First of all, it is better to note that x2 is not equal to x² .In mathematics x2 is equal to 2nd x or 2x i.e. 2 times x=2*x=x*2.

I don't know what this question means ! But if it means to just confine x2 and -6x in a square or to make them part of a square then it could be done as follows.

Assume x2 as x² as per your needs as case may be.

Now use the identity

(a² - 2a×b + b²) =(a - b )²

Here , in LHS

a appears twice as in a² and in 2a×b.

So for given expression (x2 – 6x = 5) or (x² – 6x = 5) or (x² - 6x -5 =0)

Assume x=a

Then,

6x =2*x*3 =2*a*b

=> 3 = b

Thus

(x² - 6x -5 =0)

=> x² - 2*x*3 + 3² -3² -5 =0

=> ( x² - 2*x*3 + 3² ) - 3² -5 =0

=> (x - 3)² - 3² = 5

=> (x - 3)² = 5 + 3²

=> (x - 3)² = 5 + 9 = 14 = ( ±√(14) )²

Now comparing

(x² – 6x = 5) and (x - 3)² = 5 + 9,

it can be said that number 9 should be added to both sides of (x² – 6x = 5) or (x² – 6x) = ( 5 ) to make ( x² ) and (-6x ) as the constituting parts of the square (x-3)² .

I hope it helps.

Thank you  for patiently reading it.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Hope this helps 0>0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sales each man had.

For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.

For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x.  We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.

Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:

65x = 40x+300

Subtract 40x from each side:

65x-40x = 40x+300-40x

25x = 300

Divide both sides by 25:

25x/25 = 300/25

x = 12

You have a choice between 2 jobs, one pays $8.25/hr but requires you to spend $20 to get a uniform. The other pays $7.50/hr. At
Veronika [31]

Step-by-step explanation + Answer:

x = 1st job

y = 2nd job

x + y = 22......x = 22 - y

7x + 8.25y = 171.50

7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50

154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50

-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154

1.25y = 17.50

y = 17.50 / 1.25

y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job

x + y = 22

x + 14 = 22

x = 22 - 14

x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job

Plz help me thx if u do
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

So, C, and D.. can easily be marked incorrect. This is because in the question it asks, "Atleast 16" This leaves us with answer choice A and B. Answer choice (A), is a closed circle, while answer choice (B) is an open circle.

Closed circles include the number at the end point (less than/greater than/equal to), and open circles do not (less than greater than).

answer choice  A. Closed circle, shifting to the right.
