Use FOIL method first to get rid of ()
x^2 - 4x + 4x -16 = 9
x^2 - 16 = 9
move the 16 over by addition
x^2 = 25
Then take the square root and get
x = 5

Perform indicated operations on left side

x*x+4x+4x+4*4=9

x^2+4x+4x+16=9  combine like terms on left side

x^2+8x+16=9  subtract 9 from both sides

x^2+8x+7=0  factor

x^2+x+7x+7=0

x(x+1)+7(x+1)=0

(x+7)(x+1)=0

x=-1, -7

Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less 
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.
