3x^2 + 8x - 4 - (6x^2 - 5x + 3)....distribute thru the parenthesis
3x^2 + 8x - 4 - 6x^2 + 5x - 3 .....combine like terms
-3x^2 + 13x - 7 <==
18/6
18= the number of trucks
6= the number of hours
18/6= 3 trucks per hour
Use this formula a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b)
<span>(x+1)^2-(x-1)^2 in this case, a = x+1, b = x-1</span>
<span>= [(x+1) + (x-1)] * [(x+1) – (x-1)]</span>
=(x +1 + x – 1) *(x +1 – x +1)
= 2x * 2
