Answer:
Answer Placeholder (I'm going to solve it and answer when I'm done)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
do the numbers that are in parentheses first which is 2+6=8 next is 5+3=8 then add both ur answers together then divide that by 4 which should equal 4.5
Would it be 2.5??? I think it would but not completely sure
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.
but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".
we want to find
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
and now we compare with the original equation :
a²x² = 4x²
a² = 4
a = 2
2abx = 16x
2×2×bx = 16x
4b = 16
b = 4
b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.
so, our equation is
(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0
(2x + 4)² = 13
2x + 4 = sqrt(13)
2x = sqrt(13) - 4
x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
