-10 is less than -5 because negative numbers are farther from 0. Same applies to -4 and -20.
8x5 = 40
3x2 = 6
40 - 6 = 34
answer:
area of shaded = 34
Answer:
0.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the dimensions of the garden are 15 meters by 20 meters.
The area of the new garden (original garden + stone placed around the perimeter) is 336m².
Let d be the width of the border having stepping stones as shown in the figure. The shaded region in the figure is the area having stepping stones.
The area including the shaded region 

As the width of the stone border can't be a negative value, so taking the positive value.
Hence, the width of the stone border is 0.5 m.
So, the wi
(x^4 - 9)(x^3 + 9)
This is a binomial * binomial. Use the FOIL method for multiplying.
First, outer, inner, last.
x^4 * x^3 = x^7
x°^4 * 9 = 9x^4
-9 * x^3 = -9 x^3
-9 * 9 = -81
Putting it back together.
x^7 +9x^4 -9x^3 - 81
