Hello, we need to see it as a difference of two squares as we know that for all a and b real numbers

$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

So, here

$9x^2-4=(3x)^2-2^2=(3x-2)(3x+2)$

Voila !

Thank you

Find what n equals 8(2n-2) = 4 - 4n (explanation please)

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{n=1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of n that satisfies this equation, we can perform a series of algebraic steps on it to solve for n.

$8(2n-2) = 4- 4n$
Distribute in the 8 on the left side:
$16n-16=4-4n$
Add 4n to both sides
$20n-16=4$
Add 16 to both sides
$20n = 20$
Divide both sides by 20
$n=1$

Therefore, n=1 is the value of n that satisfies this equation.

Hope this helped!
