Answer:
We conclude that we must add 4² or 16 to complete the square.
Hence, option C i.e. 16 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the perfect square formula is
<em>(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab</em>
Given the equation

Let us add 4² or 16 in the equation


as <em>(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab, </em>so
<em />
<em />
<em />
Therefore, we conclude that we must add 4² or 16 to complete the square.
Hence, option C i.e. 16 is the correct answer.
FYI - 14,15,16 are correct.
17. a) 7 (nearest integer), b) 6.8 (nearest tenth)
18. a) 14 (nearest integer), b) 13.8 (nearest tenth)
19.
--> simplified to = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The open circle means that the point is not included in the solution set, and the arrow pointing left means that all numbers less than -2 are members.
In set-builder notation, each term has a special meaning. The braces enclose the members of the set.
Here's how you translate the notation,

Let x be your first alloy
2/5x+7/10(30-x)=1/2(30)
4x+210-7x=150
3x=60
x=20
So, you need 20 lbs of the first alloy, and 10 parts of the second to make 30 lbs of half iron and half silver alloy!
The first one is 4 and the last one is 2.14237024 u can put all of that in if u want
