Rewrite it in the form a^2 - b^2, where a = 5x and b = 8
(5x)^2 - 8^2
Use the Difference of Squares; a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
<u>= C. (5x - 8)(5x + 8)</u>
B because it is between x: 4 and 6. And it is linear and decreasing
Answer:
1) $283.50
2) 65.21 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
We know that a spool of ribbon holds 6.75 meters.
A craft club buys 21 spools.
So, the total length of ribbon bought is:

Each meter costs $2. So, the total cost will be:

Part 2)
A spool holds 6.75 meters.
We bought 21 of them, so that total length we have is 141.75 meters.
The club used 76.54 meters.
So, the amount of ribbon that is left is represented by:

Subtract:

So, 65.21 meters of ribbon will be left.
When two quantities have a relationship, there is a corresponding equation that could describe it. These two quantities may be expressed in variables of x and y. When you plot the graph, you may see a line or a curve. This presents the trend of the relationship of the two quantities when the independent variable changes.
