16x²-49=

(4x)²-7²=

(4x-7)(4x+7)

Here I have used the expression:

Answer:

(4x-7)(4x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

16x² - 49

realize that 16 = 4² and 49 = 7²

Substituting these values into the expression,

16x² - 49

= 4²x² - 7²

= (4x)² - 7²

recall the algebra property : a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b)

Applying this to our expression:

(4x)² - 7²

= (4x-7)(4x+7) Answer

Help please. <br> Give the slope of y - 3 = 4(x + 8) and a point on the line

Sauron [17]

-----------------------------------------------------------
Make y the subject :
-----------------------------------------------------------
y - 3 = 4(x + 8)
y - 3 = 4x + 32 // Apply distributive property
y = 4x + 35 // Add 3 to both sides

-----------------------------------------------------------
Identify Slope :
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slope = 4

-----------------------------------------------------------
Find a point on the line :
-----------------------------------------------------------
When x = 0,
y = 4(0) + 35 // Sub x = 0 into the equation
y = 35 // Combine like terms
Point = (0, 35)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Answers :
(a) Slope = 4
(b) One point on the line is (0, 35)

The regular price of a shirt is $12.00.If Jason bought the shirt for 45 percent of the regular price,how much did he save?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

45% of $12.00 = 45/100 x 12

= $5.4

Hence to get how much he saved, we have to deduct the percentage off from the cost price $12 -$5.4 = $6.6

∴ Jason saves $5.4
