We will proceed to solve each case to determine the solution of the problem.
<u>case a)</u>
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.
Rewrite as perfect squares
therefore
case a) is not the solution of the problem
<u>case b)</u>
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.
Rewrite as perfect squares
therefore
case b) is not the solution of the problem
<u>case c)</u>
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.
Rewrite as perfect squares
therefore
case c) is not the solution of the problem
<u>case d)</u>
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.
Rewrite as perfect squares
therefore
case d) is the solution of the problem
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
