9/16 is greater.

9x2=18 9/16 Bigger

8x2=16 8/15 Smaller

I find that turning the fractions into decimals helps in this situation.
9/16 = 0.5625
8/15 = 0.5333

so 9/16 is greater then 8/15

What number must you add to complete the square x^2+24x=17

Arte-miy333 [17]

We have
x² + 24x = 17 (1)

Note that
(x + 12)² = x² + 24x + 144
By adding 144 to the left side of equation (1), it becomes a perfect square.

Therefore
x² + 24x = (x+12)² - 144 (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
(x + 12)² - 144 = 17
(x + 12)² = 17 +144
(x + 12)² = 161

Answer:
We added 144 to the left side of equation (1) in order to make it a perfect square.

Cada par de puntos determina una recta con la pendiente dada. Halla el valor de la incógnita en cada caso: a. (3,2);(4,x); m=1 b

True [87]

Answer:

a=3,b=0,c=5,d=-4/21

Step-by-step explanation:

The formule we use to get the slope is:

m = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

a. (3,2);(4,x); m=1

$\frac{x-2}{4-3}=1$ → x= (1)(4-3)+2 → 3

b. (b,-1);(2,-2); m=-1/2

$\frac{-2-(-1)}{2-b}=\frac{-1}{2}$ → -1= ( $\frac{-1}{2}$ )(2-b) → $\frac{-1}{\frac{-1}{2} }-2$ → 0

c. (5,d);(9,2); m=-3/4

$\frac{2-d}{9-5}=\frac{3}{4}$ → d= ( $\frac{-3}{4}$ )(9-5)-2 → 5

d. (-1/3,3/4);(h,5/6); m=7/12

$\frac{\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{4} }{h-\frac{-1}{3} }=\frac{7}{12}$ → $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{7}{12}$ ( ${h-\frac{-1}{3} }$ ) → $\frac{-4}{21}$

We get this equation with the original one:

y=mx+b

There are three forms of linear equations:

point-slope form y2-y1=m(x2-x1)

standard form Ax + By + C = 0 or Ax + By = C

and slope-intercept form y=mx+b
