Given a quadratic equation

1. the first thing we do when we want to compete the square, is write the coefficient of x as 2 times a number.
In our case the coefficient of x is 10, so we write 10 as 2*5
2. then we write +

and -

to the expression:



Answer:
But how many feet is he running each time?
Answer:
Let the Dulcina's collection be 'x'
Let the Tremaine collection be 'x-39'
x + x - 39 =129
2x = 129 +39
2x = 168
x = 168/2
x = 84
Dulcina's collection = x = 84
Tremaine's collection = x - 39 = 84 - 39 = 45
8th payment, if you want how to get the answer I made a chart as shown in the picture
B :) open circle means inequality and it needs to be at least 3 so the line has to increase, meaning the arrow is going right.
