Answer:
Her first error was adding the wrong number to both sides. Instead of 4², it should be 2²
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, the number that needs to be added to both sides is (b/2)²
In this problem, b is 4. So, Carly should have added 2² to both sides, but she added 4² instead.
So, her first error was adding 4² to both sides instead of 2²
56*(4+15/60)
56*(240+15)/60
56*(255)/60

t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.
So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars
This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644
736-92= 644
So our expression seems to be working.
