Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the completing square method to find make the expression a perfect square.

(b/2)²=ac where a and b are coefficients of x² and x respectively while c is a constant.

= (-8/2)²=16

We add 16 to both sides and the expression becomes a perfect square.

Answer:

The correct answer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a quadratic equation,

x² – 8x = 9

<u>To find the number to be added</u>

The given equation be  x² – 8x = 9

here we have to add (b/2)² -  the square of half the coefficient of x,

Here b = -8

(b/2)² = (-8/2)² = -4² = 16

Add both side with 16

x² – 8x + 16  = 9 + 16

(x - 4)² = 25

(x - 4)² = 5²
