Answer:
- 5(x +1.5)^2
- 10(x +1)^2
- 1/4(x +2)^2
- 3(x +5/6)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...
a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2
This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.
a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2
b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2
c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2
d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.
Answer:
B and D are the answer's.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
Multiply by
the equation A
------> equation C
Multiply by
the equation B

-------> equation D
Adds equation C and equation D

therefore
<u>the answer Part 1) is the option A </u>

Part 2)
we have
------> equation A

Simplify Divide by
both sides

------> equation B
the lines A and B are parallel lines, because the slope m is equal
so
The system has no solution
therefore
<u>the answer Part 2) is the option D</u>
There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.
Part 3)
we have
------> equation A

------> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
![4x+2[x-3]=6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%2B2%5Bx-3%5D%3D6)



therefore
<u>the answer part 3) is the option D</u>

Part 4)
Let
x---------> The number of one-step equations
y---------> The number of two-step equations
we know that

-------> equation A
------> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
![3[1,120-y]-2y=1,300](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5B1%2C120-y%5D-2y%3D1%2C300)




therefore
<u>the answer part 4) is the option D</u>

45 new houses.....last month 1/3 were sold....
1/3(45) = 45/3 = 15 houses sold last month
this month, 1/5 of the remaining houses were sold...
remaining houses left are (45 - 15) = 30
1/5(30) = 30/5 = 6 houses sold this month
houses left : 45 - 15 - 6 = 45 - 21 = 24 houses remain <==
