Let the number be n.
Then 3n+5 = n+40
Combining like terms, we get
2n = 35, and so n = 35/7, or 17 1/2.
It's C)12 squared because you have to look outside of the box
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5x^2+6x+.... so that it can be rewritten in the form a(x+b)^2
Let .... be C
1.5x^2+6x+C
=1.5(x^2+4x+(C/1.5))
Compare above with 1.5(x+2)^2 = 1.5(x^2+4x+4)
C/1.5=4
C=6
So the expression should be 1.5x^2+6x+6
It can be rewritten to 1.5(x+2)^2
