Group and factor/undistribute
(x^2y^3-2y^3)+(-2x^2+4)
(y^3)(x^2-2)+(-2)(x^2-2)
see the (x^2-2) is common term so undistribute
(x^2-2)(y^2-2)

8 14/15 pounds altogether if you needed the answer in mixed numbers simplified.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
168
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Before we begin, remember the following:</u>
+ve * +ve = +ve -ve * -ve = +ve
+ve * -ve = -ve -ve * +ve = +ve
<u>Now, for the given problem we have:</u>
(-4) * (6) * (-7)
<u>Let's take the first two terms:</u>
(-4) * (6)
Based on the above rules, the product will be negative
<u>Therefore, </u>
(-4) * (6) = -24
<u>Now, the expression became:</u>
(-24) * (-7)
Again, based on the above rule, the product here will be positive
<u>Therefore,</u>
(-24) * (-7) = 168
Hope this helps :)
Line through P(0, 5) and Q(-1, 8):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (8 - 5) / (-1 - 0) = 3 / -1 = -3
line through R(3, 3) and S(5, -1):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-1 - 3) / (5 - 3) = -4 / 2 = -2
Parallel lines have equal slopes. Since the two lines have different slopes, they are not parallel.
You can model this with the equation 4x+3=15 since it is a number (x) times 4 with 3 added and equals 15.
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x=12
Divide both sides by 4
x=3
