The answer must be a whole number because for example how are you suppose to fit half a child on a bus that can hold 44 people when it already holds that amount.

It will always be a whole number because if there are several left over students they will be put in another bus with more empty seats.

Use the method of completing the square to transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q. 3 + x - 3x2 = 9

Triss [41]

To <span>transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q we shall proceed as follows:
3+x-3x^2=9
putting like terms together we have:
-3x^2+x=6
dividing through by -3 we get:
x^2-x/3=-2
but
c=(b/2a)^2
c=(-1/6)^2=1/36
thus the expression will be:
x^2-x/3+1/36=-2+1/36
1/36(6x-1)</span>²=-71/36

the answer is:
1/36(6x-1)²=-71/36
