(x + 9) (x - 9)

follow the FOIL method

first

x(x) = x^2

outside 
x(-9) = -9x

inside
9(x) = 9x

last 
9(-9) = -81

 x² - 9x + 9x - 81
simplify: x² - 81

x² - 81 is your answer

hope this helps

it is not - 18, because you are multiplying, not adding, and even if you are adding, the answer wouldn't have a -18

hope this helps

Nonamiya [84]
A composite number is a number that's not prime. A prime number is a number who only has 2 factors (1 and itself). A composite number has multiple factors.

For example;
7 is prime, as the factors of 7 are only 1&7.
14 is composite, as there are 4 factors (more than 2); 1&14, 2&7.

91 is composite, as it has the following factor pairs; 1&91, 7&13.

139 only has 1&19, making it prime.
13 only has 1&13, making it prime.
29 only has 1&13, making it prime.

Your answer is A.) 91.

I hope this helps!
