Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)(x-1) - x(x+2)

Foil the first term

First x^2

outer -x

inner 3x

last -3

Add them together

x^2 -x+3x-3 = x^2 +2x-3

x^2 +2x-3  - x(x+2)

Distribute the second term

x^2 +2x-3 -x^2 -2x

Combine like terms

-3

Answer:

\boxed{-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hey there!</em>

Well to simplify,

(x+3)(x-1) - x(x+2)

we need to do

(x+3)(x-1) first,

(x+3)(x-1)

x*x = x^2

-x + 3x = 2x

-1 * 3 = -3

\boxed{x^2 + 2x - 3}

Now we can do,

x(x+2)

x*x = x^2

x*2 = 2x

\boxed{x^2 + 2x}

So now we need to subtract the 2 products,

x^2 - x^2 = 0

2x - 2x = 0

The answer is,

\boxed{-3}

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Plz help ASAP!! Explain your answer! I will mark at brainliest!!! And don’t copy anybody else’s answer
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

No, it is not a square

Step-by-step explanation:

If one wall is 19", that would mean the wall perpendicular to this wall is also 19" (in fact all of the walls would be 19"!) If this was a square, then the diagonal we draw at 20.62" would serve as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  One wall would serve as a leg, and another wall as another leg.  If this is a square, then the Pythagorean's Theorem would be satisfied when we plug in the 2 wall measures for a and b, and the diagonal for c:

19^2+19^2=20.62^2

We need to see if this is a true statement.  If the left side equals the right side, then the 2 legs of the right triangle are the same length, and the room, then is a square.

361 + 361 = 425.1844

Is this true?  Does 722 = 425.1844?  Definitely not.  That means that the room is not a square.
