What number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square x^2+3x=6

1 answer:

8 0

Take half of the coefficient of x: It is 3, and half that is 3/2.

Then <span>x^2+3x=6 becomes:

</span><span> x^2+3x + (3/2)^2 =6 + (3/2)^2, and

(x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4

You were not asked to solve the equation, but why not do it for the practice?

</span>Solve (x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4 for x. There will be 2 values.

irina [24]

Using the Pythagorean theorem 4 would be the height and 8 would be the hypotenuse, you need to find the base

4^2 + X^2 = 8^2

16 x x^2 = 64

x^2 = 64-16
x^2 = 48

x = sqrt(48) = 6.92 feet ( round answer as needed )

Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smallest number and middle number is 27 less than 3 times the large

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

17, 19, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If we denote the smallest number as x, then the middle number will be x + 2 and the largest number will be x + 2 + 2.

The equation is:

x + (x + 2) = 3 * (x + 2 + 2) - 27

2x + 2 = 3x + 12 - 27

2x - 3x = 12 - 27 - 2

-x = -17

x = 17

The numbers are: 17, 19, 21

Let's check to be sure:

17 + 19 = 36

3 * 21 - 27 = 63 - 27 = 36
