consider $8x^2 - 48x = -104$. \nwrite the equation so that \na = 1 $x^2$ + \\boxed{5} $x$ $\\rightarrow -6x…

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the original equation

Given the equation (8x^{2}-48x = - 104). Divide each term by 8 to make the coefficient of (x^{2}) equal to 1. (\frac{8x^{2}}{8}-\frac{48x}{8}=\frac{- 104}{8}) Which simplifies to (x^{2}-6x=-13)

Step2: Complete the square for (x^{2}-6x)

For a quadratic expression of the form (x^{2}+bx), to complete the square, we take half of the coefficient of (x), square it. Here, the coefficient of (x) is (- 6), half of (-6) is (-3), and squaring (-3) gives ((-3)^{2}=9). So we add 9 to both sides of the equation (x^{2}-6x=-13). The equation becomes (x^{2}-6x + 9=-13 + 9) (Wait, no, wait. Wait, the right side was (-13)? Wait, no, from step 1, (x^{2}-6x=-13)? Wait, no, (\frac{-104}{8}=-13), yes. Then to complete the square for (x^{2}-6x), we take ((\frac{-6}{2})^{2}=(-3)^{2} = 9). So we add 9 to both sides. So the blanks are filled with 9 and 9. Wait, let's re - check.

The general formula for completing the square for (x^{2}+bx) is (x^{2}+bx+(\frac{b}{2})^{2}=(x + \frac{b}{2})^{2}). Here, the quadratic is (x^{2}-6x), so (b=-6), then ((\frac{b}{2})^{2}=(\frac{-6}{2})^{2}=9). So we add 9 to both sides of the equation (x^{2}-6x=-13). So the equation (x^{2}-6x+\underline{9}=-13+\underline{9})? Wait, no, that would make the right side (-4), but maybe I made a mistake in the sign. Wait, no, the original equation after dividing by 8: (x^{2}-6x=-13). Then to complete the square, we add ((\frac{-6}{2})^{2}=9) to both sides. So (x^{2}-6x + 9=-13 + 9)? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe I messed up the division. Wait, (8x^{2}-48x=-104), divide by 8: (x^{2}-6x=-13). Then, to complete the square, take half of - 6, which is - 3, square it: 9. So add 9 to both sides: (x^{2}-6x + 9=-13 + 9)? Wait, no, that would be (x^{2}-6x + 9=-4), but maybe the problem has a typo? Wait, no, the user's problem is to fill in the blanks for (x^{2}-6x+\underline{\quad}=-13+\underline{\quad}). So the first blank is the square of half of - 6, which is 9, and the second blank is also 9 (because we add 9 to both sides to complete the square). Wait, but let's check again.

Wait, the standard completion of square: for (x^{2}+bx = c), we add ((\frac{b}{2})^{2}) to both sides. Here, (x^{2}-6x=-13), so (b=-6), ((\frac{b}{2})^{2}=(\frac{-6}{2})^{2}=9). So we add 9 to both sides. So (x^{2}-6x + 9=-13 + 9)? Wait, no, that would be (x^{2}-6x + 9=-4), but maybe the original equation was different? Wait, no, the original equation is (8x^{2}-48x=-104), dividing by 8: (x^{2}-6x=-13). Then completing the square: (x^{2}-6x+9=-13 + 9)? Wait, that seems correct. So the first blank is 9 and the second blank is 9.

Answer:

The first blank (for (x^{2}-6x+\underline{\quad})) is 9, and the second blank (for (-13+\underline{\quad})) is 9. So the completed equation is (x^{2}-6x + 9=-13 + 9) (or (x^{2}-6x + 9=-4), but the blanks are filled with 9 and 9 respectively).
