What is the question for me to answer
Answer:
f(x) = (x + 6)² - 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² + 12x + 7
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + 12x
x² + 2(6)x + 36 - 36 + 7
= (x + 6)² - 29, thus
f(x) = (x + 6)² - 29

I had x before the movie.
x - 13.50 = 26.50
Add 13.50 to both sides of the equation:
x = 40
I had $40 before the movie.

The original balance was x.
x - 161.15 = 423.28
Add 161.15 to both sides:
x = 584.43
The previous balance was $584.43
2x^2 - 11 = 87
2x^2 = 87 + 11 = 98
x^2 = 98/2 = 49
x = sqrt (49) = + or - 7
