Jaqueline · Answer 1

The value of c is calculated by dividing the numerical coefficient of the left-hand side of the equation by 2 and squaring the quotient obtained. That is,

c = (3/2) ^2

Simplifying,

c = 2.25

Therefore, c, which is added to both sides of the equation will have the value equal to 2.25.
