Answer:
Sample Response: Break the figure into a parallelogram and a triangle. Find the area of each using the formulas A=bh and A=1/2bh. The sum of the areas is the area of figure.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
The equation has one solution, x = -7.
