To create a perfect square trinomial, halve the x coefficient, square it, and then add that value.
In the case of x² + 6x, we would have 6 to get 3, then square 3 to get 9.
We would add 9 to make a perfect square trinomial.
<u>
</u><u>Why this works</u>
A perfect square trinomial is designed to factor to some value (x+n)².
When you FOIL this you get x² + 2nx + n².
As you can see, if you wanted to find the value of that n², you could take that x coefficient 2n, halve it to get n, and then square it to get n²!
<span>3x=7y+16
15y=7y + 16
15y - 7y = 16
8y = 16
y = 8/16
y = 2

54/4 = 13.5
take the 2 whole numbers below 13.5 and the 2 whole numbers above 13.5
12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 54
