The reasonable estimates are indicated in the following choices:

A) 1 foot

B) 2 feet

C) 5 feet

D) 9 feet

So, from the given choices, 2 feet or approximately 24 inches would be the most viable answer because most standard desks have a height around 28 inches to 30 inches. 1 foot is too low, while 5 feet and 9 feet are too high. Therefore, 3 to 4 feet would be the most perfect answer but since we have a limited number of options, the nearest reasonable estimate value would be 2 feet. The original numbers from a problem does not exceed in a reasonable estimate.

Which are steps the could be used to slove 0=9(x2+6x)-18 by completing the square

Elis [28]

Answer:

(x+3)²-11=0

Step-by-step explanation:

0=9(x2+6x)-18

0= 9x² +54x-18

0= 9( x²+6x-2) taking 9 common

0= x² +6x-2 (breaking the mid term to find the second element of the square

0 = (x)² +2(x)(3) +(3)² -2 -9 adding and subtracting the second element

0= (x+3)² -11 summing up
