Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, "the constant term has been written on the right side", it means that we add 18 to both sides to get.

x^2+3x-18=0\\\\x^2+3x=18\\\\\text{We can see the beginning of } (x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2 \\\\x^2+3x=(x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2-\dfrac{3^3}{2^2}=18\\\\(x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2=18+\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{18*4+9}{4}=\dfrac{81}{4}

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Answer:

2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0

First, we need to write the constant on the right of the equation. So, we add 18 to both sides.

x^2 + 3x = 18.

Now, we find the number that will complete the square. It will be (\frac{b}{2} )^2.

In this case, b = 3.

(\frac{3}{2} )^2

= (1.5)^2

= 2.25.

So, the number that will complete the square to solve the equation is 2.25, or 2 and 1/4, or 9/4.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 250°

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed angle = ½(intercepted arc measure) (inscribed angles theorem)

x is intercepted arc measure

125° is the inscribed angle

Therefore:

125° = ½(x)

Multiply both sides by 2

2*125° = x

250 = x

x = 250°
