(x-9)(x-3), because -9 and -3 make a sum of -12 and a product of +27
X is equal 3. to do this, you do reverse of order of operations. So this means that you would to the 'times 2' first by dividing 4 by 2 to make it 2. then, in the parenthesis, since there is a 'minus 1', therefore you are going to add 1+2 which equals three. <span />
The algebra tiles show two equal factors. They are (x + 4).
Then, the perfect square is the product of the two equal factors, (x + 4) * (x +4).
That is (x + 4)^2.
Then develop that perfect square to find the constant term.
(x + 4)^2 = x^2 + 8x + 16.
That means that the constant term needed to complete the trinomial is 16.
Answer: 16
