Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x^2 + 16x = 18.  Complete the square:

Take half of the coefficient of x (in other words, take half of 16) and square the result:  we get 8^2 = 64.

Add 64, and then subtract 64 from x^2 + 16x   + 64                         = 18 + 64

Then (x + 8)^2  = 82.  From this point on it's easy to find the roots, but we were not asked to do so.  

The desired number is 64; note that it is (16/2)^2.

How to graph y=-3x+15
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Well first you put the y-intercept on the graph. In this case it would be 15

So graph the point (0,15)

The you do the slope which is 3

so you always do rise over run for slope.

If 3 were a fraction it would be 3/1 so go up 3 points and the go right 1 point from (0,15)

hope this helps .-.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

7√6 - 5√7  

Step-by-step explanation:

5√7 + 12√6 - 10√7 - 5√6    (rearranging)

= (5√7 - 10√7) + (12√6  - 5√6)   (factor out √6 and √7 respectively)

= (5 - 10) √7  + (12  - 5)√6

=  -5√7  + 7√6  (rearrange)

=  7√6 - 5√7
