Difference of 2 perfect squares
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
recognize that
(2x+1)(2x-1)
(a+b)(a-b)
therefor
product is
(2x)^2-(1)^2=
4x^2-1
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
7(x + 4) - 7 = 48 - 2x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
7x + 28 - 7 = 48 - 2x
7x + 21 = 48 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )
9x + 21 = 48 ( subtract 21 from both sides )
9x = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 3
It would be 2.6 x 104 for 26,500 in scientific notation.
