a. factor A = x^2 -30x + 225 = (x - 15)(x - 15)
side length =<u> (x - 15)</u>
b. add (x - 15) four times = 4(x - 15) =<u> 4x - 60</u>
Answer:
3 minutes
5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, Amelia can wash 8 plates in 24 minutes.
So, if this rate remains constant then 1 plate will be washed in 
minutes.
Again, it is given that, Amelia bakes 12 cookies in 60 minutes.
So, if this rate also remains constant then she will bake 1 cookie in 
minutes. ( Answer )
Answer:
when you divide 3/4 by 1/8 you get 6
Answer:
x = 2.5 or -0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to use completing the square method to solve for the values of x
Firstly, we divide through by 4
= x^2 -7/4x -2 = 0
Now, we move the two term to the right hand side
x^2 -7/4x = 2
Now, we divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it;
That would be;
(-7/4 * 1/2)^2 = 49/64
we now add this value to both sides of the equation
x^2 -7/4x + 49/64 = 2 + 49/64
The right hand side can be rewritten as;
(x-7/8)^2 = 177/64
taking the square root of both sides
x-7/8 = √(177/64)
x = 7/8 ± √(177/64)
x = 7/8 + √(177/74) or 7/8 - √(177/64)
= x = 2.53802 or -0.788017
Which to the nearest tenth is
x = 2.5 or -0.8
