Answer:

B. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in question is not well written. Let the equation be;

x²+12x+5 = 0

In order to know what number should be added to both sides of the equation, we will take the square of the half of coefficient of x as shown;

Coefficient of x = 12

Half of 12 = 1/2(12) = 6

Square of 6 = 6² = 36

Hence the required number to add to both sides of the equation by completing the square method is 36

A boat takes 2 hours to travel 15 miles upriver against the current. if the rate of the boat in still water is 12 miles per hour
OLga [1]

Answer:

4.5 mph or 9/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the current

Formula: Distance = rate x time

where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours

15=(12-x)(2)

15=24–2x

2x=24–15

2x= 9

x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)
