<h3>Answer:</h3>
- -100x +100; 3
- 5x +81; 162
The distributive property is your friend. It tells you ...
a(b + c) = ab + ac
It can also be used to simplify the product of binomials (or other polynomials).
(a +b)^2 = (a +b)(a +b) = a(a +b) + b(a +b) = a^2 +ab +ab +b^2
(a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2 . . . . . . . worth remembering
1. (x -10)^2 -x(x +80) = (x^2 -20x +100) +(-x^2 -80x)
= -100x +100 . . . . . . simplified form
For the purposes of calculation, it can be easier to factor out 100:
= 100 (1 -x)
Then for x = 0.97
= 100(1 -0.97) = 100(0.03) = 3
___
2. (2x +9)^2 -x(4x +31) = (4x^2 +36x +81) -4x^2 -31x = 5x +81
For x = 16.2, this is ...
5(16.2) +81 = 81 +81 = 162
_____
The purpose of the attachment is to show the evaluation is correct.

Alright, lets get started.
Mr. Hinckley owns 83 acres of total land.
He divides the land into eight equal sections to sell to eight buyers.
It means, we could find the land each buyer receives by dividing total land by 8.
So, each buyer receives land =
So, each buyer receives land = 10.375 acres
So, the answer is 10.375 acres lands received by each buyer. : Answer
Hope it will help :)
