For this case we must complete squares:
We add the square of half the coefficient of the term "x",
on both sides of the equation:
According to the perfect square trinomial we have:
Rewriting the expression we have:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(-1 -4)/(2 - 3) = -5/-1 = 5
y - 4 = 5(x - 3)
y - 4 = 5x - 15
y = 5x - 11
Answer: the number of item A that you sold is 11
the number of item B that you sold is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of item A that you sold.
Let y represent the number of item B that you sold.
The total number of item A and item B sold is 13. This means that
x + y = 13
The cost of item A is $8 and the
cost of item B is $4. The total amount if money made is $88. This means that
8x + 4y = 88 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes
8(13 - y) + 4y = 88
104 - 8y = 88
8y = 104 - 88 = 16
y = 16/8 = 2
x = 13 - y = 13 - 2 = 11
23 × 536 = 12328
