We have
.
First let us factor the 2 to obtain,

We can now see clearly that the expression inside the parentheses is a difference of two squares.
We now write the 4 as 2². So that we obtain the expression,

Recall that

Hence our expression becomes,

Therefore, when factored completely,

Answer:
Human coastal development has also helped jellyfish thrive. The structures and construction that we have placed in the water, such as piers, marinas, oil platforms, artificial reefs, refuse, rubble, aquaculture pens and structures, etc. provide an abundance of habitats for polyps to settle on.
First let's find how much is 15% of 8500 voters.
To do that, we can multiply 15 by 8500 and then divide by 100.
Work: 15 x 8500 = 127500
127500/100 = 1275
Therefore 15 percent of 8500 is 1275.
Then, we subtract 1275 from 8500 to find the amount of people who did vote.
8500 - 1275 = 7,225
Thus, 7,225 people voted while 1,275 people did not.
The answer, from my own personal experience, is a raisin. Hope this helps!
