(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

Triangle m is similar to triangle n. Triangle m has two angles with measures of 32°and 93°. Which two angles measures could be i
inysia [295]
Given that triangle m and n are similar, then the implication is the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same and the corresponding angles are equal. This implies that if the two angles of triangle m measure 32° and 93°, then the possible size for the two angles in triangle n will be 32° and 93°.

What two consecutive numbers have a sum of 53? Thanks! :P
Musya8 [376]
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.

We now have our equation:

x + x + 1 = 53

Now solve for x.

x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26

So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
