The pattern is:
( a - b )² = a² - 2 a b + b² ( square of last term of binomial - the missing term)
x² - 2 · 8 · x + 8² = x² - 16 x + 64 = ( x - 8 )²
The missing term is: 64
The slope is the rise over run. Basically, any line has a constant increase. If you are looking at a line on a graph and each point it meets at is 1 up and 1 over, the slope is 1. Say the line goes up two and over one for each time it meets an actual point, the slope would be 2. If it is 1 up and 2 over, it would be 1/2.

3x + 10 = 5x + 22
Reorder the terms:
10 + 3x = 5x + 22
Reorder the terms:
10 + 3x = 22 + 5x
Solving
10 + 3x = 22 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
10 + 3x + -5x = 22 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
10 + -2x = 22 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
10 + -2x = 22 + 0
10 + -2x = 22
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -2x = 22 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -2x = 22 + -10
-2x = 22 + -10
Combine like terms: 22 + -10 = 12
-2x = 12
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6</span>
