1) Let's write out both expressions subtracting 4m²+2mn+8n² from 2m²+6mn+2n²
2) Note that when we subtract 4m^2 + 2mn + 8n^2 from 2m^2 + 6mn + 2n^2 we need to swap the sign by placing -1 outside the parentheses and then combine like terms adding those terms algebraically.
so, uh, i think the answe is actually 5. Since 5^2 is 25, minus 5 is 20, and 5 minus 1 is 4, 20 divided by 4 is 5. i hope that helps.
It's a lot like solving equations.
3b-7 < 32
Add 7 to each side.
3b < 39
Divide by 3 on each side.
b < 13
Hope this helps :)
The answer is that they're equal, one is just in point-slope form and the other is in slope-intercept form
