In order to complete the square for the equation below, what value should be added to both sides of the equation? x2 - 8x + ? = 42 + ?

? = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 8x + ? = 42 + ?

1. Take the coefficient of the middle term 8x, which is 8 and divide it by 2.  . Then square it  

2. Take 16 and add it to both sides:

2. Take half of the coefficient 8 that you divided by 2, which is 4 and insert 4 into the equation

3. ? = 16

1. 8

2. 9

3. 20

4. 3

5. 17

6. 2.2

7. 11.25

8. 1

9. 14

10. 2

step-by-step explanation:

thats the first half

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
