  (4x +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial is ...

  (a +b)² = a² +2ab +b²

We assume that the given trinomial is a perfect square, so we can find the terms of the squared binomial by looking at the square roots of the first and last terms:

  √(16x²) = 4x

  √25 = 5

So, our first choice of side length for the square is ...

  s = (4x +5) . . . . . side length of the square

Using the above identity, we can verify that the square of this gives the right area:

  A = s² = (4x +5)² = (4x)² +2(4x)(5) +5²

  A = 16x² +40x +25 . . . . . . as required

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
