B) ANSWER IT ONLY IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. IF YOU, №18011085, 06.09.2021 08:15

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to completing the square is by dividing "b" by 2, squaring that number, and adding it on both sides. In this case, 16/2 = 8 and 8 squared = 64. In answer choice B, this is correctly added to both sides of the equation.

For using completing the square, first make sure that the coefficient of x² is 1, if it's not 1, then you need to make it 1, by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient whatever it is. So, jere the coefficient of x² is 1, so now we need to develop a whole square on both sides, for which,we will add the square of half of coefficient of x on both sides, so adding (-16/2)² = (-8)² = 64 on both sides, we will be having :

{:\implies \quad \sf x^{2}-16x+64=-21+64}

Which suits the B) option

Hence, Option B) is correct

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram
