Complete Question: Which of the following is an example of the difference of two​ squares?

A x² − 9

B x³ − 9

C (x + 9)²

D (x − 9)²

Answer:

A. x^2 - 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to spot an expression that is a difference of two squares is to note that the first term and the second term in the expression are both perfect squares. Both terms usually have the negative sign between them.

Thus, difference of two squares takes the following form: a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b).

a² and b² are perfect squares. Expanding (a + b)(a - b) will give us a^2 - b^2.

Therefore, an example of the difference of two squares, from the given options, is x^2 - 9.

x^2 - 9 can be factorised as x^2 - 3^2 = (x + 3)(x - 3).

How do you solve: 2(7-x)+4x=20
Angelina_Jolie [31]
First expand it
Next subtract 14 - 2x + 4x so it can be 14 + 2x
Next subtract 14 from both sides
Next subtract 20 - 14 so it can be 6
Then divide both sides by 2
And lastly reduce the fraction 6/2 and once u reduce it u have your answer which is x = 3.

Puis traveled one-quarter of the journey to his destination. He still has to cover 24km to reach the third-way mark. How many ki
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The distance Puis still have to travel to reach his destination is 72 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters about Puis journey are

Distance covered by Puis = 1/4 of total distance

Distance remaining for Puis to complete the journey = 3/4 of the journey

Distance of Puis from the third-way (central) mark = 24 km

Therefore;

Distance from 1/4 of journey to 1/2 of journey = 24 km

Hence, 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4 of the journey = 24 km

Which gives Total distance covered by Puis = 24 km

Total distance of the journey = 4 × 24 km = 96 km

The distance Puis still have to travel to reach his destination = 96 - 24 = 72 km.
