1) You must add 4 to each side to complete the square.
2) You must add 16 to each side to complete the square.
3) You must add 27 to each side to complete the square.

Explanation:
1) x²-4x=0
To find the number that we add to both sides, we look at b, the cofficient of x.  It is -4. We divide it by 2 and square it; -4/2 = -2; (-2)² = 4.  This is the value that we add to both sides.

2) x²-8x=6
-8/2 = -4; (-4)²=16
We add 16 to each side to complete the square.

3) 3x²+18x=24
First we can factor a 3 out of the left side:
3(x²+6x) = 24
Our b value is now 6.  6/2 = 3; 3²=9.  The 9 would, however, go in the parentheses, so it would be multiplied by 3, which makes 27; this means we would add 27 to both sides.

Find the value of x.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

x= 2√37

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you want to do is find the length of the missing side where the the right angle is at. You can find that with the pythagorean theorem of the other triangle, since you are already given 2 sides.

Pythagorean Theorem

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

a=2

b=?

c=2√2

Plug in and solve for b.

2^2+b^2=(2√2)^2

4+b^2=8

b^2=4

b=2

Now use the pythagorean theorem again to find your x side.

a=2

b=12

c=?

2^2+12^2=c^2

4+144=c^2

148=c^2

c=√148

c=2√37
