1 answer:

7 0

Given: y²+5y
Converting y²+5y in the form: x²+2ax+a²
Here 2a=5 or a=5/2
Add and subtract (5/2)²
y²+5y+(5/2)²-(5/2)²
Complete the square.
(y+5/2)²-(5/2)²
Simplify
(y+5/2)² - 25/4

Answer: (y+5/2)² - 25/4

$\bf \textit{sum of all interior angles in a polygon}\\\\ S = 180(n-2)~~ \begin{cases} n=\stackrel{number~of}{sides}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n = \stackrel{quadrilateral}{4} \end{cases} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\measuredangle a}{(6x-2)}~~+~~\stackrel{\measuredangle b}{(6x+5)}~~+~~\stackrel{\measuredangle c}{(8x+2)}~~+~~\stackrel{\measuredangle d}{(3x+10)}~~=~~180(4-2)$

$\bf 23x+15=180(2)\implies 23x+15=360\implies 23x=345 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{345}{23}\implies \boxed{x = 15} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\measuredangle c}{8x+2}\implies 8(15)+2\implies 122$
