Question

Which equation us equivalent to the given equation? x^2 - 6x = 8

(x-3)^2 = 17


(x-3)^2 = 14


(x-6)^2 = 20


(x-6)^2 = 44

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

x² - 6x = 8

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 8 + 9

(x - 3)² = 17 → A

Answer 2

(x-6)^2=20

the answer is C
