Answer:
10*7+ 18x *7 =2590
or 70 + 18x*7 =2590
Step-by-step explanation:
10*7 to find out how much the shipping costs for the 7 teams altogether
18*x because you need to find how much the jerseys cost for all the soccer teams
then multiply it by 7 to find how many players on each team
when you solve for x you get 20
there are 20 players on each on team.
Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
