The algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of the two numbers, supposing the two numbers to be a and b, is

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).

An algebraic expression is a combination of terms, where the terms are separated using mathematical operators like plus (+), minus (-), multiply (*), and divide (/).

The terms are combinations of numerals and variables.

Variables are represented alphanumerically, which can hold any value as per the expression they are used in.

In the question, we are asked to write the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of two numbers.

We assume the two numbers to be a and b respectively.

Thus, we are asked to write an expression for the difference between the square of a and square of b, that is, we are asked to write an expression for a² - b².

We know that a² - b² is an identity, which can be shown as (a + b)(a - b).

Thus, the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of the two numbers, supposing the two numbers to be a and b, is a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).

Answer:

  • large: 55 lb
  • small: 30 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...

  x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box

  70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes

We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.

  (70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)

  20x = 1100 . . . . simplify

  x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20

Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.

  55 +y = 85

  y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55

A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.

SOMEONE HELP ASAP WHATS THE MISSING ANGLE
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

130

Step-by-step explanation:

? is an exterior angle of a triangle

An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles ( 35 and 95 in this case )

That being said the missing angle = 95 + 35

95 + 35 = 130

Hence, the answer is 130
