2x-3y+7=0 -- add 3y to both sides
3y=2x+7 -- divide by 3
y=2x/3 +7/3
The gradient is 2/3
Area of the board divided by the time
2 x 3 = 6ft^2
15/6= 2.5mins
When you expand the binomial, you isolate each of the parts.
So, (x-y)^4 would turn into...
x^4 - y^4
The powers stay the same because (outside the parenthesis) you multiply them with whatever is inside the parenthesis. In this case, would be 1. All variables and numbers without a listed power have a power of one. Multiply 4*1 to get 4.
Your answer is -37. (work from left to right)
