Question

Brian is solving the equation x^2 - 3/4x= 5. What value must be added to both sides of the equation to make the left side a perfect-square trinomial?

Answer 1

x^2 - 3/4 x = 5

-3/4 / 2 = -3/8 so its

x^2 - 3/4x + 3/8^2 = 5 + 3/8^2

(x - 3/8)^2 = 5 + 9/64

The answer is 9/64

Answer 2

((-3/4)/2)^2 = 9/64 I HOPE THIS HELP
