Completing the square is a process to find the solutions, or the x-values, to a quadratic equation. This method can only work if it is in the format: x^2 + bx = c
In this equation, the b value is -12 and the c value is -6. The process for completing the square goes like this:
x^2 + bx + (b/2)^2 = c + (b/2)^2
Now let’s solve the equation above using this method.
Step 1: x^2 - 12x + (-12/2)^2 = -6 + (-12/2)^2
Step 2: x^2 - 12x + (-6)^2 = -6 + (-6)^2
Step 3: x^2 - 12x + 36 = -6 + 36
Step 4: x^2 - 12x + 36 = 30
Now, to factor it. After doing the process until now, the left side of the equation can ALWAYS be in the format: (x + a)^2
Step 5: x^2 - 12x + 36 can be factored in this format as (x - 6)^2
Step 6: (x - 6)^2 = 30
Step 7: x - 6 = √30
Step 8: x = 6 ±√30
A=1/2bh
Data:
a=192 mm²
h=12 mm
therefore:
192 mm²=1/2(b)(12 mm)
192 mm²=6b mm
b=192 mm²/6 mm
b=32 mm
Answer: the measure of the base is 32 mm
Answer:
The principal for the account is $375.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple interest problem.
The simple interest formula is given by:

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.
The interest earned after 1 year is $12 .If the interest rate is 3.2% for account (A).
This means, respectively, that 
We want to find P.




The principal for the account is $375.
Answer:119 4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
2/14+6/14+2/14+4/14+1/14+3/14+4/14= 22/14
10+35+10+12+24+15+12=118
118 22/14
119 8/14
119 4/7
