"Completing the square" is a step in the solution of quadratic equations. It can be accomplished without the guesswork or trial-and-error associated with methods like factoring, and it always leads to a solution. It is the method by which the quadratic formula is derived.
Area = (12ft)(4ft)
A = 48 ft^2
Answer:
1/36
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Identify the fractions. Using the distributive property, you’ll eventually turn them into integers.
2.For all fractions, find the lowest common multiple (LCM) -- the smallest number that both denominators can fit neatly into. This will allow you to add fractions.
3.Multiply every term in the equation by the LCM.
4.Isolate variables adding or subtracting like terms on both sides of the equals sign.
5.Combine like terms.
6.Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.
What is the question, are we supposed to find the value of "u"? If so, than u is equal to 6 6/7.
