Marianna [84]3 years ago
8 0

First, do the prime factorization.

96 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

The GCF is the product of their shared factors.

They share 2, 2, 2, and 3.

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.

Their GCF is 24.

A standard deck of playing cards has 52 cards: 13 spades, 13 clubs, 13 hearts, and 13 diamonds. What is the probability of drawi
cestrela7 [59]

13/ 52 = 1/4 chances.

There are 13 spades and 52 cards. You divide the spades and cards in the deck to find your chances of drawing one.

You have a 25% chance of getting a spade.

Now you put it back. Since you put it back, you still have the same number of cards and the same number of spades. So when you divide 13/52 again, the numbers are still the same. 1/4. 25% chance.

So, you still have a 25% chance the second time around.

(8m-3n)^2 - (4m+3n)^2​
natulia [17]

Answer:

48m^2-72mn

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve (8m-3n)^2 - (4m+3n)^2

We know that,

(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\\\\(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab

Using the above formula,

(8m-3n)^2 - (4m+3n)^2=(8m)^2+(3n)^2-2(8m)(3n)-[(4m)^2+(3n)^2+2(4m)(3n)]\\\\=64m^2+9n^2-48mn-(16m^2+9n^2+24mn)\\\\=64m^2+9n^2-48mn-16m^2-9n^2-24mn\\\\=48m^2-48mn-24mn\\\\=48m^2-72mn

So, the final answer is 48m^2-72mn.
