Aaron is solving the equation x2 – 8x = 1. which value must be added to both sides of the equation to make the left side a perfect-square trinomial?

-16

-4

16

4

The answer to your question is: +16

Step-by-step explanation:

                                 x²  - 8x = 1

                                x² - 8x + (4)² = 1 + (4)²

                                x² - 8x + 16 = 1 + 16

                                (x - 4) ² = 17

3, 12, 48, 384, 1536, 6144, 24576, 98304

step-by-step explanation:

just keep timing it by 4.
