X^2 - 8x = (x - 4)^2 - 16
we add 16 to give x^2 - 8x + 16 which is a perfect square
x^2 - 8x + 16 = (x - 4)^2
answer is 16
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
1 / 4 x + 18 = x
x / 4 + 18 = x
x = x / 4 + 18
x - x / 4 = 18
( 4x / 4 ) - ( x/4 ) = 18
( 4x - x ) / 4 = 18
3x / 4 = 18
3x = 18 * 4
x = ( 18 * 4 ) / 3
= 6 * 4
x = 24
Answer:
A. 5
B. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you substitute -2 into the a and the 3 into the b.
a. 3(-2)^2-5(3)+8 b. 2/3(3)-5(-2)
3(4)-15+8 2-(-10)
12-15+8 12 is your answer.
-3+8
5 is your answer.
Upon formation of an equation from a given pattern, we know how the variables in the patter are related. Using the equation, we can find the value of one of the missing variables if the rest are known and also predict the values of the pattern at given conditions.
An example:
y = 2x + 5
if we are to predict the value of y at x = 3, we simply substitute 3 into x
y = 2(3) + 5
= 11

Note in step 2, I factored each number in the square root to pull out the largest perfect square factor. From there, I used the rule that 
to break up the roots.
