Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding brackets.

Adding 2m and 6 to both sides.

Combining like terms.

Dividing both sides by 14.

First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
Answer:
He actually has 25 paints.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because you take 18x100(100 is the total % under 72 because 72 is out of 100) that equals 1800. then, you take 1800 and divide it by 72. That is because 72 is the actual number that we already have. You would get 25 after dividing. hope this helps:)
