Since we want it in the form: (x - a)², let's first expand (x - a)² and then equate for the coefficients.
(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²
x² + 4x - 15 = x² - 2ax + a²
Now, let's focus on the middle term.
4x = -2ax
4 = -2a
a = -2
Thus, we know that a = -2
Then, we can say (x + 2)² = x² + 4x - 15
x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 4x - 15
Thus, 19 units are needed in order to complete the square to produce:
(x + 2)²

sorry if this is wrong but i hope this helps :))
Answer:
second option, IQR = 13-6 = 7 and Range = 17-6 = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's consider that number to be 'x'..
So, twice the number (2x) is 12 greater than than the half of the number.
So the equation will be like,
2x=12+x/2
Solving this further,
2x=(24+x)/2
=> 4x=24+x
=>4x-x=24
=>3x=24
=>x=8..
So the number is "8".
I hope this helps you
x=3. (27x+2)
x=81x+6
80x=-6
x=-3/40
