A)
x^2 - 6x + c = - 5 + c

using a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a-b)^2
so
6x = 2 * x * 3
so
c = 9

Answer
c = 9

b)
substitute c = 9
x^2 - 6x + 9 = - 5 + 9
(x - 3)^2 = 4

Answer:
(x - 3)^2 = 4

c) solve for x

(x - 3)^2 = 4
(x - 3)^2 = 2^2
so
x - 3 = 2
x = 5

and

x - 3 = -2
x = 1

Answer: x = 1 , 3

A company that creates steering wheels for cars found that 2 of the steering wheels manufactured each hour yesterday were defect

Ymorist [56]

2 steering wheels manufactured each hour were defected
There were 50 steering wheels manufactured per hour
The fraction is $\frac{2}{50}$
Divide 2, which is the numerator by 50, which is the denominator
2÷50=.04
To change any decimal into a fraction, multiply by 100
The multiply .04 by 100 to change into a percentage
.04×100=4.⇒4%
4% is the percentage of defective steering wheels
