Total distance traveled = 4 + 6 = 10 miles
Total time = 15 + 25 = 40 minutes
Speed = 10 miles ÷ 40 minutes = 0.25 mph
18 + 81 = 9(x²<span> + 6x + 9)

When we are completing the square, we are going to move the value of c across the equals. We will do that by adding, and end up with
18=9(x²+6x)
We take the value of b (the coefficient of x), divide it by 2 and square it:
(6/2)²=3²=9
This is the value that completes the square. However, since the entire square is multiplied by 9, this value must be multiplied by 9 before we can add it across the equals:
18+9(9) = 9(x²+6x+9)
18+81=9(x²+6x+9)
99=9(x²+6x+9)
Dividing both sides by 9, we have:
11=x²+6x+9
11=(x+3)²
Try dividing 150 by 2 1/2 and your answer would be 6.25 you may want to double check that math though
the correct answer should be 2radical 13
