What value should be added to both sides for completing the square in this equation?
1 answer:
Hey there!
x^2 + 4x = 12
SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 12 - 12
SIMPLIFY IT
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of your EQUATION
(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0
• EQUATION #1: x - 2 = 0
OR
• EQUATION #2: x + 6 = 0
SIMPLIFY IT
• EQUATION #1 answer: x = 2
OR
• EQUATION #2 answer: x = -6
OVERALL ANSWER: x = 2 or x = -6
YOUR ANSWER: x = 2 (Option A.)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

You multiply 55.25 by 0.18. You get 9.945 and then you add it to 55.25. You should get 65.195. Round it to $65.20. That's your answer.
Answer
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
-8w-7=9
add 7 to both sides
-8w=16
divide by negative 8 on both sides
w=-2
w-8=-10
replace the value of x int eh equation
so 23x-1 becomes
23(1.1478)-1
23*1.1478 = 26.3994-1 = 25.3994
