Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 18x + --- = 4 + ----
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 9)x + 81 = 4 + 81
(x - 9)² = 85 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 9 = ± [tex]\sqrt{85}[/tex] ( add 9 to both sides )
x = 9 ± [tex]\sqrt{85}[/tex] ← exact solutions
