You should know that:

(a+b)(a+b)(a+b)

=a(a+b)(a+b)+b(a+b)(a+b)

=a(a²+2ab+b²)+b(a²+2ab+b²)

=a³+2a²b+ab²+a²b+2ab²+b³

=a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³

-----------------

If a=5x and b=-4y

(5x+(-4y))³

=(5x-4y)³

=(5x)³+3(5x)²(-4y)+3(5x)(-4y)²+(-4y)³

=125x³+3(25x²)(-4y)+15x(16y²)-64y³

=125x³+75x²(-4y)+240xy²-64y³

=125x³-300x²y+240xy²-64y³

Garrett and Carter went to the movies last weekend. Together they bought 2 drinks and 2 popcorns. They spent a total of $12.50.

-BARSIC- [3]

The cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the cost of one drink is $x$ dollar and cost of one popcorn is $y$ dollar.

Given that, total cost for 2 drinks and 2 popcorns is $12.50 and total cost for 6 drinks and 5 popcorns is $33.75

So, the system of equations will be......

$2x+2y=12.50 ..................................... (1)\\ \\ 6x+5y= 33.75 ..................................... (2)$

Multiplying equation (1) by -3 , we will get.....

$-3(2x+2y)=-3(12.50)\\ \\ -6x-6y=-37.50 ..................................... (3)$

Now, adding equation (2) and equation (3) , we will get ............

$5y-6y=33.75-37.50\\ \\ -y=-3.75\\ \\ y=3.75$

Plugging this $y=3.75$ into equation (1) ......

$2x+2(3.75)=12.50\\ \\ 2x+7.50=12.50\\ \\ 2x=12.50-7.50=5\\ \\ x=\frac{5}{2}=2.50$

So, the cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

What is the solutions of the equation 2 (x+2) ^2-4=28

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

x = 2 x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x+2) ^2-4=28

Add 4 to each side

2 (x+2) ^2-4+4=28+4

2 (x+2) ^2= 32

Divide by 2

2/2 (x+2) ^2=32/2

(x+2)^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+2)^2) =±sqrt( 16)

x+2 = ±4

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -2±4

x = -2±4

x = -2+4 and x = -2-4

x = 2 x = -6
