A difference of squares has the form (a - b)(a + b)

Your expression is (-5x - 3)(-5x + ?

Let's compare this with your expression.

$\begin{array}{cclccl}(a & - & b) & (a & + & b)\\\downarrow & & \downarrow & \downarrow & & \downarrow \\(-5x & - & 3) & (-5x & + & \mathbf{3)} \\\end{array}\\\\\text{The missing term is }\boxed{\mathbf{3)}}$

Reduce fraction: a^3+a^2b/5a times 25/3b+3a

Margaret [11]

ANSWER

$\frac{5a}{3}$

EXPLANATION

The given fractions are:

$\frac{{a}^{3} + {a}^{2} b}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3b + 3a}$

We factor to obtain:

$\frac{{a}^{2}(a + b)}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3(a + b)}$

We cancel the common factors to get:

$\frac{{a}(1)}{1} \times \frac{5}{3(1)}$

We multiply the numerators and also multiply the denominators to get:

$\frac{5a}{3}$

Therefore the two fractions simplifies to $\frac{5a}{3}$
