Find the number needs to be added to both sides of the equation in order to complete the square

x ^2+16x=18

In completing the square , we take the coefficient of x and divide it by 2

Then square it and add it on both sides.

The coefficient of x  is 16

Half of 16 is 8

Then we square it .

Add 64 on both sides

Now we factor x^2 + 16x+64

so 64 is added to both sides of the equation in order to complete the square.

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
