EXPLANATION
The expression Brayden is trying to simplify is

To simplify this expression, the first thing to do is to expand the perfect square to obtain:

We can now distribute the negative to the terms in the parenthesis.

Answer:
its A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B.) 18
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the correct b value we use this formula
b² - 4ac = 0
b = What we are solving for
a = 1
c = 81
b² - 4(1)(81) = 0
b² - 324 = 0
b² = 324

b = ±18
And 18 is one of the answer choices
So B.) 18 is the correct answer.
Answer:
40 rubber bands are needed
5 rubber bands will be left from 5 bags of of rubber band
Step-by-step explanation:
Each student will need five rubber bands.
There are eight students
Total rubber bands needed = rubber bands per student × number of students
= 5 × 8
= 40
Total rubber bands needed = 40
Rubber bands come in bags of nine.
Number of bags needed = Total rubber bands needed / number of rubber bands in each bag
= 40 / 9
= 4.44 bags
It is impossible to get decimal number of rubber bands bag, so, the next whole number after 4 is 5
5 rubber bands bags will be bought which = 5 × 9
= 45 rubber bands
Only 40 rubber bands are needed
Left over rubber bands = 45 - 40
= 5 rubber bands
