Answer:
a. when x=1 so substitute 1 to any X in the given equation.
y=-3(1)+2.5
y=-3+2.5
y=-0.5
b.when x is -1.5 so substitute -1.5 to any x in the equation
y=-3(-1.5)+2.5
y=-4.5+2.5
y=-2
<h3>Answer:</h3>
2.25
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Consider the square ...
... (x+a)² = x² +2ax +a²
The constant term (a²) is the square of half the x-coefficient: a² = (2a/2)².
The x-coefficient in your expression is 3. The square of half that is ...
... (3/2)² = 9/4 = 2.25
Adding 2.25 to both sides gives ...
... x² +3x + 2.25 = 6 + 2.25
... (x +1.5)² = 8.25 . . . . completed square
Answer: 66
Step-by-step explanation: Basically you want to find the area of the whole shape and the white shape, which the whole shape is 96 and the white shape is 30, and subtract 96-30=66
