Answer:

A.  (x - 4)² = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to change the equation so that you can make a square.  To get a square, you need to analyze the terms.  

x² has a a coefficient of one, so you don't have to worry about that.

13 is going to be changed so that it can be a square.  

8x is what you should be looking at.  For a square, the middle term is the number multiplied by 2.  This means that the square was (x - 4)².  

A square, when expanded, has the square of the number as the last term.  This means that your last term should be 16.  You need to add 3 to both sides of the equation to make this true.

x² - 8x + 13 = 0

x² - 8x + 13 + 3 = 0 + 3

x² - 8x + 16 = 3

(x - 4)² = 3

Three students are from a plate of cookies.Daniel ate 1/12 of the cookies, Mariel ate 4/12 of the cookies, and Tamika ate 2/12 o
Mrac [35]

Answer:

5/12  of cookies left on the plate

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to add to know what part of the dish ate and then subtract it from the total

1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 =

when we are adding fractions with the same denominator we simply add the above

1 + 4 + 2 = 7

1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 7/12

now to the total of the plate that would be 1 we subtract what they ate

1 - 7/12 =

the whole 1 can be expressed as 12/12 since if we do the 12/12 = 1 account

12/12 - 7/12

for the subtraction with the same denominator the same thing happens as for the sum, we only do it with the top

12 - 7 = 5

12/12 - 7/12 = 5/12
