A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. It can be determined if it is a difference of two squares when you factor it.
The resulting factor of a trinomial that is a difference of two squares is: a²<span> – b</span>²<span> = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b)</span>
You will notice that the middle term is missing. This means that the middle term zeroes out as a result of having the same number of different signs (+ and -)
Answer: a=-0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
14a - (2a +9)=2/3 (12a-18)
14a - 2a -9=2/3 * 6(2a-3)
12a-9=2*6/3 (2a-3)
12a-9=2*2(2a-3)
12a-9=4(2a-3)
12a-9=8a-12
4a-9=-12
4a=-3
a=-3/4
a=-0.75
