<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>
Hi friend,
This is a perfect square trinomial.
It can be recognised because it is of the form:
a^2−2ab+b^2=(a−b)^2
with a=3x and b=4
9x2−24x+16=(3x)2−(2⋅(3x)⋅4)+42
=(3x−4)2
