What number must you add to complete the square? x^2-10x=46

1 answer:

5 0

X² - 10x = 46
10/2 = 5; 5²+ 25 add 25 to both sides

x² - 10x + 25 = 46 + 25

so the number you have to add to complete the square is 25.

$x=0.0\overline{5}\\\\x=0.0555...\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 10}\\\\10x=0.555...\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 10}\\\\100x=5.555...\\\\\text{Make the difference:}\\\\100x-10x=5.555...-0.555...\\\\90x=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 90}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{90}\\\\x=\dfrac{5:5}{90:5}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{18}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{0.0\overline{5}=\dfrac{1}{18}}\to\boxed{C)}$
