The first 3  are examples of the difference of 2 squares so you use the identity 
a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
x^2 - 49 = 0 
so (x + 7)(x - 7) = 0
so either x + 7 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
giving x = -7  and 7.
Number 7 reduces to 3x^2 =12, x^2  = 4 so x = +/- 2
Number 8  take out GCf (d) to give 
d(d - 2)  = 0   so d = 0 ,  2
9 and 10 are more difficult to factor
you use the 'ac' method  Google it to get more details
2x^2 - 5x + 2
multiply first coefficient by the constant at the end 
that is 2 * 2 =  4
Now we want  2 numbers  which when multiplied give + 4 and when added give - 5:-    -1 and -4  seem promising so we write the equation as:-

2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0

now factor by grouping 
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0

(x - 2) is common so

(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
and 2x - 1 = 0 or x - 2 = 0  and now you can find x.

The last example is solved in the same way.

Since both are negative, and they’re just asking for distance between, you can just subtract 12 from 25 to get 13.

A recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe but she has only 1 1/4 cups of butter
Alisiya [41]
The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.

Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.

So for the butter, this would be:

5/8 * 3 = 15/8 

Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.

15/8 = 1 7/8 

1 7/8 > 1 1/4

Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.
