Answer:
but where is the question please type your full questions
I wish you were using parentheses here. I must assume (without knowing for sure) that y ou mean
a - 3/7
----------
3 - a/21
The LCD here is 21, since 7 divides into 21 without a remainder.
Thus, multiply numerator and denominator by 21:
21a - 9
-----------
63 - a
You could leave this result as is, or you could factor out 3:
7a-3
3 ---------
63-a
Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
