Answer:

x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k(x + 3)

When x = 3 y = 12 so

12 = k(3 + 3)

6k = 12

k = 2.

So the relation is y = 2(x + 3)

When y is 8:

8 = 2(x + 3)

2x = 8 - 2*3 = 2

x = 1.

What is the product of (2x-7) and (3x + 3)?

eduard

<h3>✒️EVALUATION </h3>

==================================

$\large\sf\underline{Problem:}$

What is the product of (2x-7) and (3x + 3)?

A. 6x2 + 15x-21
B. 6x2 - 15x - 21
C. 6x2 + 15x + 21
D. 6x2 - 15x + 21

==================================

$\large\sf\underline{Answer:}$

$\qquad \qquad \huge \rm Letter\:B.$

*Please read and understand my solution. Don't just rely on my direct answer*

==================================

$\large\sf\underline{Solution:}$

Here we have the given choices:

A. 6x2 + 15x-21
B. 6x2 - 15x - 21
C. 6x2 + 15x + 21
D. 6x2 - 15x + 21

Solve this equation using the distributive property,where you multiply each term to get the number.

$\begin{gathered} \rm2x - 7 = \boxed{ 6} \: \bigg| \small\boxed{\: 6 {x}^{2} } \\ \rm (7)(3) = \boxed{21} \bigg | \boxed{\: 21 x} \\ \\ \qquad \rm6x^{2}+(6x- 21x)-21 \\ \qquad \boxed{ \rm6 {x}^{2} + 15x - 21}\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the correct option is letter B.

Write the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of two numbers.

V125BC [204]

The algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of the two numbers, supposing the two numbers to be a and b, is

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).

An algebraic expression is a combination of terms, where the terms are separated using mathematical operators like plus (+), minus (-), multiply (*), and divide (/).

The terms are combinations of numerals and variables.

Variables are represented alphanumerically, which can hold any value as per the expression they are used in.

In the question, we are asked to write the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of two numbers.

We assume the two numbers to be a and b respectively.

Thus, we are asked to write an expression for the difference between the square of a and square of b, that is, we are asked to write an expression for a² - b².

We know that a² - b² is an identity, which can be shown as (a + b)(a - b).

Thus, the algebraic expression for the difference between the squares of the two numbers, supposing the two numbers to be a and b, is a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).
