We have
x² + 24x = 17 (1)
Note that
(x + 12)² = x² + 24x + 144
By adding 144 to the left side of equation (1), it becomes a perfect square.
Therefore
x² + 24x = (x+12)² - 144 (2)
Substitute (2) into (1).
(x + 12)² - 144 = 17
(x + 12)² = 17 +144
(x + 12)² = 161
Answer:
We added 144 to the left side of equation (1) in order to make it a perfect square.
Answer:
Number line A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first number line A, represents x > 7, which the unshaded circle starting from 7 and moving to the right.
Number line B represents x < 7 with the direction being to the left (opposite of A).
Number line C is synonymous with A, however the starting point is shaded which represents x ≥ 7
Number line D also follows up from B with D representing x ≤ 7
