Answer:
a= 12
b=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
12 x -2 = -24
12 - (-2) = 14
12 + (-2) = 10
First consider (x+c)^2 where c is just a random constant. if we expand this by foil (which is distributive property twice), we get x^2 + 2cx+ c^2. we want to find c^2 and to do that, we can first find c. we can find c by looking at the 2cx term. this term should match with 12x, so therefore 2c = 12 so c = 6. this also implies that c^2 = 36.
note that for this problem i was working backwards which is a very powerful problem solving tool: start with what you want to attain, and then see how you can go from where you are now to get to your destination.
let me know if you have any questions!!!

Find the "difference" between the residents but division.
281421906/1000 = 281421.906
You always have to do the same to the top
8.7×281421.906 = 2,448,370.5822
There were 2,448,370.5822 deaths

Answer:
Jamie. by 7/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Halverson completed: 3/16
Jamie completed: 10/16.
To understand who completed more, look at the denominator. The common denominator is 16. Assume a puzzle has 16 pieces and Halverson did 3 out of 16 and Jamie did 10 out of 16. This means Jamie did more.
If you want to know by how much Jamie did more, it would be the difference of both the fraction. This means that 10 done by Jamie minus 3 done by Halverson, which is 7. So 7 out of 16 is the difference.

7 out of 16 can be written as 7/16
