X² +18x = 0

To complete the square we are going to use formula a² +2ab +b² = (a+b)²

x² +2*9*x = 0
x² +2*9x+9² = 9²
(x+9)² = 9²
√(x+9)² = +/-√9²
x+9 = 9, or x+9 = -9
x=0, or x= - 18

The equation could be solved different way
x² +18x = 0
x(x+18) = 0
x=0 or x+18=0
x=0 or x=-18

We know that a perfect square has the form
(x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2
If we substitute the numbers in the given equation, we have 
(x+y)^2 = x^2+2xy+y^2 = x^2+2x(9) + y^2
By comparison of the coefficients of the term xy, we have y=9, hence we need y^2=9^2=81 to complete the square. 

The completed square would be
(x+9)^2-81=0  (which expands back to x^2+18x=0)

However, if the objective is to solve the equation, I would solve it by factoring, i.e. 
x^2+18x=0 => x(x+18)=0 => x=0 or x=-18

Simplify the following expression by combining like terms.<br> 3x + 4x² - 7x+ 9x2
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

13x² - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4x² - 7x + 9x² ← collect like terms

= (4x² + 9x² ) + (3x - 7x)

= 13x² + (- 4x)

= 13x² - 4x

HELP WILL NAME BRAINLIEST: <br> Describe and correct the error.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

It should be congruent by the AAS congruence theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is in the congruence theorem.

We know that the 2 angles are congruent and one of the sides are congruent. This means that it can either be congruent by ASA or AAS.

It is actually congruent by AAS because it include two angles and the side is opposite of one of the angles.
