Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, we essentially want to create a perfect square trinomial by adding a constant.
If we have the following expression:
And we want to complete the square, we will need to divide the b-coefficient by half and then square it.
Thus, the added term should be:
In the given equation, we have:
The b term here is 8. Therefore:
The value we would add would be 16.
The answer is C.
Further notes:
To complete the square, add 16 like mentioned earlier. However, we also need to subtract 16 to balance things out:
The expression inside the parentheses is now a perfect square trinomial. Factor it:
And we are done!
Answer:
15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of weeks = x.
At the end of x weeks,
Jeremy has 120 + 14x,
and Katie has 180 + 10x
We want to know when their amounts are equal.
120 + 14x = 180 + 10x
4x = 60
x = 15
Answer: 15 weeks
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+1=8x-24
25=5x
x=5
3 times 5 plus 1 is 16 and so the length is 32
comment section:
XM=MY because MN is segment bisector
XM=3x+1=3*5+1=16=MY and since XM+MY=XY 16+16=32
Answer: 8x + 40
Step-by-step explanation:
To distribute, we multiply 8 by both of the values inside the parentheses;
Given:
8(x + 5)
Distribute:
(8 * x) + (8 * 5)
Multiply and simplify:
8x + 40
The last expression shows the sum of three terms. The sum is the amount resulting in addition.
The answer is x + 3 + x
