Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's say that we have the following equation:

x^2+bx=0

And we want to complete the square.

What we need to do is to divide the coefficient of x by half. Square that. Then add that number to both sides.

The answer that reflects this is choice D.

For instance if we have:

x^2+4x=0

Divide 4 by 2 and then square it.

4/2 is 2. 2²=4. Add 4 to both sides. Thus:  

(x^2+4x)+4=0+4

And now, we can complete the square:

(x+2)^2=4

What is the solution to the following system of equations? -5x-4y=-4 25x+20y=20
Tju [1.3M]
Simplify
2nd one divide both sides by 5
5x+4y=4
hmm, seems familliar
times it by -1
-5x-4y=-4
same as other one

they are the same line
therefor the solution set is all the points on the line -5x-4y=-4 or y=(-5/4)x+1


solution set is alll points on y=(-5/4)x+1 or 5x+4y=4
