Answer:

The product of (a+b)(a-b)  is a^2 - b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL to explain how to find the product of (a + b)(a − b)

FOIL is

Multiply First terms : a*a = a^2

Multiply Outside terms : a* -b = -ab

Multiply Inner  terms : b * a= ab

Multiply last terms : b * -b = -b^2

now we combine all the terms

a^2 -ab+ab - b^2

combine like terms

a^2 - b^2

The product of (a+b)(a-b)  is a^2 - b^2

Shortcut is we apply an identity

a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

X/7- y/5=1 solve for y
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

y = 5/7 x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

X/7- y/5=1

Multiply each side by 35 to clear the fractions

35(X/7- y/5) =1*35

5x - 7y = 35

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x-7y = -5x+35

-7y = -5x+35

Divide each side by -7

-7y/-7 = -5x/-7 +35/-7

y = 5/7 x -5

Alla [95]

Answer:  $ 290 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : According to a certain central bank from 2000 to 2016 the average price of a new home in a certain region increased by 62 % to $470 thousand.

Let X be the the average price of a new home in 2000 .

Then , the 62 % increase in price is given by :-

x+0.62(x)=x(1+0.62)=1.62x

Since , the the average price of the home in 2016 = $470 thosand

1.62x=470\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{470}{1.62}=290.12345679\approx290

Hence, the average price of a new home in 2000 =  $ 290 thousand .
