First consider (x+c)^2 where c is just a random constant. if we expand this by foil (which is distributive property twice), we get x^2 + 2cx+ c^2. we want to find c^2 and to do that, we can first find c. we can find c by looking at the 2cx term. this term should match with 12x, so therefore 2c = 12 so c = 6. this also implies that c^2 = 36.
note that for this problem i was working backwards which is a very powerful problem solving tool: start with what you want to attain, and then see how you can go from where you are now to get to your destination.
let me know if you have any questions!!!
Answer:
72 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the outside "fence"
The side on the left that is not marked is 19-11 = 8
And the side on the top that is not marked is 17-10 = 7
Summing up the sides starting at 19 and going clockwise
19+17+11+7+8+10 =
72 inches
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
5(2x + 1) = 8(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
10x + 5 = 8x + 32 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
2x + 5 = 32 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2x = 27 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 13.5 → d

Answer:
(x,y) => (x+3, y+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a triangle DEF, D(4,2), E(3,3), F(2,1).
Centroid of the area (and the vertices) equals the mean of the coordinates, namely ( (4+3+2)/3, (2+3+1)/3 ) = (3,2)
To translate (3,2) to (6,6), we need the rule
(x,y) => x+(6-3), y+(6-2), or
(x,y) => (x+3, y+4)
