Answer:

(x - 4)^2 = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2 + 24x = 27

-3(x^2 - 8x) = 27    Divide through by -3:

(x^2 - 8x) = -9        Divide the -8 by 2. Now (x - 4)^2 = x^2 - 8x + 16 so:

(x - 4)^2 - 16 = -9

(x - 4)^2 = 16 - 9

(x - 4)^2 = 7.

You can divide the whole expression by -3:

-3x^2+24x=27 \iff x^2-8x = -9

Recalling that

(x-a)^2=x^2-2ax+a^2

Let's compare the middle term:

-8x = -2ax \iff a=4

So, we want to complete

(x-4)^2 = x^2-8x+16

Which differs from x^2-8x by 16. So, if we add 16 to both sides, we have

x^2-8x=-9 \iff x^2-8x+16=7 \iff (x-4)^2=7

Which student correctly used guess and check to determine the unknown number?
Alenkasestr [34]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you need to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here we know nothing about the students so I can only help you providing the correct steps to find <em>the product of a number and eight is 104:</em>

<em />

Let that number be n, then the statement can be written in a mathematical language as follows:

n\times 8=104 \\ \\ \\ \text{Dividing both sides by 8:} \\ \\ \frac{n\times 8}{8}=\frac{104}{8} \\ \\ \boxed{n=13}

Finally, <em>the unknown number is 13</em>
