Solve 5x + 1 = 2x2 + 9x. which are steps in the process of completing the square used to solve the equation? answer choices 1 = 2(x2 + 2x) 1 = 2x2 + 4x 2 = 2(x2 + 2x + 1) 3 = 2(x + 1)2 2 = 2(x + 1)2

Choices (1), (2) and (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 1 = 2x² + 9x

By subtracting 5x form both the sides of the equation.

(5x + 1) - 5x = 2x² + 9x - 5x

1 = 2x² + 4x

1 = 2(x² + 2x)

By adding 2 on both the sides

1 + 2 = 2(x² + 2x) + 2

1 + 2 = 2(x² + 2x + 1)

3 = 2(x² + 2x + 1)

3 = 2(x + 1)²

Therefore, choices (1), (2) and (4) are the steps that have been used to complete the square.
