Hi,
We know that:
a² -- b² = (a -- b)(a + b).
With a = x, and b = 4, we have:
x² -- 16 = x² -- 4² = (x -- 4)(x + 4).
As simple as that. Have you understood ?

Answer: Don't know sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
increase = 37.38 cm²
You'd like the first way because it took less effort and less chance of a miscalculation.
Step-by-step explanation:
first way:
(just work with the difference in height)
(0.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (0.7 x 18 x 2) = 37.38 cm²
second way:
old total lateral surface area = (31 x 8.7 x 2) + (31 x 18 x 2) = 1655.4
new total lateral surface area = (31.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (31.7 x 18 x 2) = 1692.78
increase = 1692.78 - 1655.4 = 37.38 cm²
The pick up fee is $2.50.
After each mile, $1.95 is added.
That is, after the first mile, we have;

Isaac total charge = $27.46;
Generally, let the number of miles driven by the taxi be x, then we have;

Solving for the number of miles Isaac travelled, we have;

CORRECT OPTION:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope, denoted m
This is done by using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
The slope for this problem is
m = [-3 - (-1)]/[8 - (-2)]
m = -2/10 = -1/5
