We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106
Answer:
All of the following statements are true because the products, three or four numbers, remain the same regardless of how the numbers are grouped.
Answer: 6 = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have by definition, that the volume of a cone is given by:

Where:
A: It is the cone radius
h: It's the height
They tell us that the diameter is 21 m, then the radius is half the diameter, that is: 10.5m. The height is 4m. Substituting the data:
.
Finally, the volume of the cube is
