The way that you would do this is by taking

out of the binomial, or as I like to think about it, 'un-distributing'. :p

out of

, you end up with

.
When you take

out of

, you get

.
Put it together, and the solution is

-

.
Hope I helped!!
Answer:
y = -x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
<u>slope (m):</u> Since the line is going downhill, the slope will be negative
slope = rise / run
slope = 1 / 1
slope = 1
m = -1
<u>y - intercept (b):</u> this when x = 0, the line is crossing the vertical line (y-axis)
b = -1
so y = mx + b is
b = -1, m = -1
y = (-1)x + (-1)
Answer: a²+b² = -99/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²
a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1
b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2
From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3
From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4
Adding 3 and 4, we have;
a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)
a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99
(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99
Taking the difference we have
- 2(a²+b²) = 99
a²+b² = -99/2
<u>ANSWER:</u>
Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share. The algebraic expression is 
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share with a book club.
Each box contains 12 cookies.
So, in total we have 3 x 12 cookies = 36 cookies.
Now, we have to find how many cookies can each person p will get.
Let, the total number of persons be x.
Then, after equally sharing the cookies,


Hence, the algebraic expression is
