1. Perfect square trinomials, are 2nd degree polynomials, of the form

so that

, which can be written as perfect squares.
2. For example

3. Thus

are perfect square trinomials.
4.

5. In the first case -b=20, so b=-20. In the second case, -b=-20, so b=20.
6. b∈{-20, 20}
Here's how to find the value of x:
<span>9 - 0.75 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 find the difference of 9 - 0.75
</span><span>8.25 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 add 5 to both sides
</span>
8.25 ( x + 8 ) = -1.5 distribute 8.25 to x and 8
8.25x + 66 = -1.5 subtract 66 from both sides
8.25x = -67.5 divide both sides by 8.25
x = 18.18181818...... the value of x is 18 2/11
hope this helps
I believe the answer to this one would be 75.0%
Yes he is right because if u have
-6 -(-4) u would multiply the 2 signs the - and the -4 and u would get +4
then ur equation becomes -6+4 = -2
