Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²
Answer:
r = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
= 4r-4
square root both sides
r = 
4r-4
r = 2r-2
2r-r = 2
r = 2
Start at -4 and go over to the right 6. - is left and +is right. the answer is 2.
Let
x--------------> total volume of a glass
we know that
(4/7)x-70=(2/4)x------------> (4/7)x-70=(1/2)x--------> 2*(4/7)x-2*70=x
(8/7)x-140=x
<span>multiplied by 7 the expresion
</span>7*(8/7)x-7*140=7*x-----------> 8x-980=7x--------> x=980 cm³
the answer is
<span>the total volume of the glass is 980 cm</span>³
Its C. Add 3 and 15 which gives you 18. Then move the variable (4x) to the left. Then combine like terms which are the x’s and you should get 3x. Then divide both sides by 3. (18/3 = 6)
