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
Answer:
8b + 27 ≤ - 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of a number can be written as x or in this case as b because it is an unknown number.
b is multipled by 8 so 8b
"and 27" indicates an addition so therefore, 8b + 27
"at most -29" This is a little bit tricky but ultimately it means 8b + 27 cannot be more than -29. Therefore, it must be lesser than.
However there is a line underneath that lesser than sign meaning lesser than or equal to. I believe that "at most" indicates equal to.
Other than the lesser than or equal to sign I'm unsure about, this inequality should be correct.
