(6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0
Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b)
(6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
Reorder the terms:
((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
(48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0
(48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0
Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0
(0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0
(36a2 + -64b2) = 0
Solving
36a2 + -64b2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '64b2' to each side of the equation.
36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2
Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0
36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2
36a2 = 0 + 64b2
Remove the zero:
36a2 = 64b2
Divide each side by '36'.
a2 = 1.777777778b2
Simplifying
a2 = 1.777777778b2
Take the square root of each side:
a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>
Answer:
The expression that can be used is 0.80x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> original price of an item
Remember that

That means---> the sale price is 80% of the original price
To find out the sale price, determine the 80% of the original price
----> percentage in decimal form
Multiply the original price by the percentage in decimal form to obtain the sale price
so

Answer:
6/3 is the biggest ofc =2
Then is 5/4 =1.25
Smallest is 2/6 = 1/3= 0.33

Answer:
slope=-1.1/500
y-intercept=212.0
Step-by-step explanation:
the y-intercept is always the number next to x, on the y side.
the boiling point is going down by 1.1
8 gallons= 128 cups
20 guests x 2 cups each= 40 cups will be gone
128-40= 88 cups left over
88 cups= 5.5 gallons of punch left at the end of the party.
