Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to make sure that the leading coefficient is a 1.  Ours is a 4, so we need to factor it out, leaving us with

4(x^2-18x)=0

To complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, then add it to both sides.  But don't forget about that 4 hanging around out front, refusing to be ignored.  Our linear term is 18.  Half of 18 is 9, and 9 squared is 81.  Add 81 into the parenthesis, but what we REALLY added in was 4*81 which is 324:

4(x^2-18x+81)=324

To solve this, we need to get the x terms all by themselves.  So let's divide both sides by 4 to get

x^2-18x+81=81

The process of completing the square created a perfect square binomial on the left.  We will state this binomial now:

(x-9)^2=81

We isolate the x term by taking the square root of both sides:

x - 9 = ±9

From that we have 2 equations:

x - 9 = 9 and x - 9 = -9

Which means that x = 18 or x = 0

Answer:

C

HOWEVER: "Less Than" is usually depicted as a dashed line at the border. and there MUST be an OR between these two equations to include all of the blue area. An "and" there would exclude the area between the edge lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y < 10

       y < -2x + 10

3x + 2y < 12

       2y < -3x + 12

         y < -1.5x + 6
