Answer:
all work is shown and pictured
Answer:
no, it cannot
Step-by-step explanation:
a difference of square is: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
looking at the expression (5z+3)(-5z-3), we see that it does not fit the criteria of the breakdown of a perfect square, as (-5z-3) has a negative <em>a</em> term (-5z)
if we FOILed (5z+3)(-5z-3) out, we would get:
-25z² - 30z - 9, which is not a difference of squares
-17 -35
-3 -3
-2 0
-31 -87
17 57
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
30
So our two equations are y=-8x-4 and y=-16, and since in both equations, something equals the same y, those two are the same. So we can combine the two into -16=-8x-4. In the question, they are asking to solve for x. So to do that, you need to isolate your variable. Now for solving algebraic equations, you use reverse PEMDAS (SADMEP), meaning you add 4 to both sides to clear the -4 one the rights side to get -12=-8x. Then you divide both sides by -8 to get 12/8, which simplifies to 3/2.
