Answer:
Here's what I get
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Write an equation
(8x + 12y)² + (6x + 9y)²= (10x + 15y)²
b. Transform the equation
(i) Remove parentheses
64x² +192xy + 144y² + 36x² + 108xy + 81 y² = 100x² +300xy + 225y²
(ii) Combine like terms.
100 x² + 300xy + 225y² = 100x² +300xy + 225y²
The two sides are the same.
The equation is an identity.
