Converting feet to inches, 8*12=96 and 96*4=384. Next, 40*12=480. Since 384*x (if x represents the cost per inch of crown molding)=16*100=1600 cents due to that for every inch, we add x amount of money, we can find x to be 1600/384=800/192=400/96=200/48=100/24=50/12=25/6 by simply dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 each time. Since we add x amount of money for every inch, and we have 480 inches, 480*x=480*25/6=2000 cents=2000/100=20 dollars is our answer

Find the product (8/6n-4)(9n^2-4)

Leokris [45]

Answer:

4(3n+2) or 12n+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$(\frac{8}{6n-4})(9n^{2}-4)$

The numerator of the fraction will be multiplied with 9n^2- 4

So, Multiplication will give us:

$=\frac{8(9n^2-4)}{6n-4}$

We can simplify the expression before multiplication.

The numerator will be broken down using the formula:

$a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\\So,\\= \frac{8[(3n)^2 - (2)^2]}{6n-4}\\ = \frac{8(3n-2)(3n+2)}{6n-4}$

We can take 2 as common factor from denominator

$=\frac{8(3n-2)(3n+2)}{2(3n-2)}\\After\ cutting\\= 4(3n+2)$

Hence the product is 4(3n+2) or 12n+8 ..
