I am not good with explianing but here is the answer: 9/5... Basic you subtract the when they ask for you to divid fractions 13-4.
Answer:
(x + 9)² = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 18x + 57 = 12 ( subtract 57 from both sides )
x² + 18x = - 45
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² + 2(9)x + 81 = - 45 + 81
(x + 9)² = 36
If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
