First

Inner

Outer

Last

you just distribute the numbers to all of the others then simplify.

ex.

(x+4)^2

(x+4)(x+4)

x^2+4x+4x+16

x^2+8x+16

in this, x times x is x^2. then x times 4 is 4x and 4 times x is 4x and 4 times 4 is 16. then combine like terms

A dessert has both fruit and yoghurt inside.
Rudiy27

note: f=fruit

y=yoghurt

2:3

f : y

f/y=2/3

=> 3*f=2*y

f=(2*y)/3

we know that f+y=185g

(2*y)/3+y=185g

(2*y+3*y)/3=185g

5*y/3=185

y=(185*3)/5

y=111g

=>the mass of the yoghurt is 111 g

20 2/7 = 142/7 -20/35

find common denominator ( in this case it is 35)

35/7 =5 , multiply 142*5=710, 7*5 =35

142/7 = 710/35

710/35 - 20/35  = 710-20 = 690

690/35 now simplify that fraction

690/35 = 19.714

19*35 = 665

690-665=25

19 25/35

25/35 can reduce to 5/7

answer = 19 5/7
