If the number is x, then:
6x+1= (x-1)^2
Now we just need to simplify it
6x+1=(x-1)*(x-1)
6x+1=x^2-2x+1
8x=x^2
8=x
The number is 8.
To check the answer
6*8+1=7^2
49=49
correct :)
<span>y - 1 = 2 (x - 2) is the red graph.
</span><span>4x + 6y = -12 is the blue graph.
</span><span>f (x) = -</span>

<span>x - 2 is the green graph.

Study all notes, reread the chapters again. Have someone ask questions on the chapters page by page. This always has worked for me. Plus try to do this again the night before the test. You will be surprised how much you can remember by doing it again the night before the test. Hope this helps.
