You must distribute first, so 3(8p+7r). That will equal 24p +21r. Then you must add all the values together according to like terms, so the variables must match. So simplified it will be 22+24p+30r
The x coefficient is 2
Take half of 2 to get 2/2 = 1
Square 1 to get 1^2 = 1
Add and subtract 1 to the expression. This is the same as adding 0.
x^2 + 2x + 2
x^2 + 2x + 2 + 0
x^2 + 2x + 2 + (1-1)
(x^2 + 2x + 1) + 2 - 1
(x+1)^2 + 1
Answer: (x+1)^2 + 1
If u you do the slope formula...(m=y2-y1/x2-x1)
2-4/5-8
-2/-3=2/3
Therefore the slope would be 2/3
Btw can u plz mark this answer the brainliest
Okay just ask and I got you man
