Answer:

Choice d is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a  equation.

(x-12)(x+4) = 9

We have to find the solution using completing square technique.

Simplifying given given equation, we have

x²+4x-12x-48 = 9

Adding 48 to both sides of above equation, we have

x²-8x-48+48 =  9+48

x²-8x =  57

Adding the square of half of the term -8x to both sides of above equation, we have

x²-8x+(-4)² =  57+(-4)²

x²+2(1)(-4)+(-4)² =  57+16

(x-4)² = 73

Taking square root to both sides of above equation, we have

√(x-4)² = √73

x-4  = ±√73

Adding 4 to both sides of above equation, we have

x-4+4  =  ±√73+4

x  =  4±√73 which is the answer.

100% of Kerion's paper squares are:
 (100% / 100%) = 1
 Half of the squares of your paper are colored blue:
 (1) / (2) = 1/2
 Of the blue squares, 1/3 of them will also have stripes:
 (1/2) * (1/3) = 1/6
 answer

How do i factor s^2+9s=-20
Talja [164]
To factor you have to do this: 

s^2 + 9s = -20
      + 20    +20

s^2 + 9s + 20 = 0

now you need to numbers that multiplied give you 20 
and then those same 2 numbers have to add to 9

5 x 4 = 20
5+ 4 = 9

(x + 4) (x+ 5)

that means that x= -4, and -5
