Sum means addition. Times means multiplication, and "is" means an equality, or equals. We use a variable to represent the unknown number.

So 7x+7 is the sum of seven times a number and 7. 6x means six times the number. 6x is 7x+7, leading to the final answer 7x+7=6x.

Find the values of a and b such that x2 - 2x + 2 = (x -a) + b LOADS OF POINTS ON THE LINE!!!

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize using square root method.

x² - 2x + 2 = (x-a)² + b

x² -2x + 1 + 1 = (x-a)²+b

(x² - 2*x*1 + 1²) + 1 = (x -a)²+ b {Compare with a²- 2ab+b² which is (a - b)²}

(x - 1)² + 1 = (x - a)² + b

a = 1 and b = 1
