<u>2.This method is based on the pattern (a+b)(a-b)=a²-b², which can be verified by expanding the parentheses in (a+b)(a-b).</u>

<u>3.When an expression can be viewed as the difference of two perfect squares, i.e. a²-b², then we can factor it as (a+b)(a-b). For example, x²-25 can be factored as (x+5)(x-5).</u>

It takes 8 hours to drive to Joliet, and that's 6 hours more than half the time it takes to drive to Davenport. So, I did 8-6 which equals 2. So 2 hours is half the time it takes to get to Davenport, which means it takes 4 hours to get to Davenport.
Answer:
It takes 50 minutes to paint the whole box
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Write an equation using equal fractions to represent this situation. Use a box to represent the total time it takes to paint the bookcase.
Wilson paints 40% of a bookcase in 20 minutes.
For the total box
40% = 20 minutes
100% = x
40 × x = 100 × 20
x = 100 × 20/40
x = 50 minutes
