Given, (9x - 4)(9x + 4) = ax² - b

From algebraic identities:

We know, (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

Now, 81x² + 36x - 36x - 16 = ax² - b

81x² - 16 = axis² - b

So ax² = 81x²

a = 81

-b = -16

b = 16

Solution

Therefore, the value of a is 81.

Find m angle ABC<br> Please help
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

ABC = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 3x-70 are corresponding angle and corresponding angle are equal when the lines  are parallel

x = 3x-70

Subtract 3x from each side

x-3x = 3x-70-3x

-2x= -70

Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = -70/-2

x = 35

x = 3x-70 = 35

A candy store grab bag contains 10 pieces of sour candy, 12 pieces of chocolate candy, and 6 pieces of sweet candy. If you selec
harkovskaia [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

so we're making two draws *with* replacement (this is important)

step 1: for the first draw, it wants the probability of getting a sour candy. to calculate this:

(# of sour candy) / (total # of candy)

step 2: for the second draw, it wants the probability of *not* getting a sour candy. to calculate this, you can calculate 1 - (the probability form part 1).

step 3: to find the probability of both events happening together, simply multiply the probabilities from part 1 and 2 together

side note: for step 2, you can only do this because the candy is being replaced. if there were no replacement, you'd have to re-calculate (# of non-sour candies) / (total after the first candy is drawn)
