How do you complete the square of x2+8x+26?

The answer you are looking for is (x+4)^2+10. Hope this helps!

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+8x+26

Take the coefficient of the x term

8

Divide by 2

8/2 = 4

square it

4^2 =16

we need to add 16 to 26 = 16+10

x^2 + 8x+16  +10

(x+4)^2 +10

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
