Answer: 25x² - 64
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(5x + 8)(5x - 8)
= 5x(5x - 8) + 8(5x - 8)
= 25x² - 40x + 40x - 64
= 25x² + 0x - 64
=
NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.
For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)
The slope is defined as
So, we have the follwing equation:
Solution: We are given that the population of Virginia is 8 million.
Let x be the population of Nevada.
We are given population of Virginia is 2.8 million less than 4 times the population of Nevada.
The first step is to on both sides.
add 2.8
The second step is to on both sides.
divide 4
The population of Nevada is million.
2.7
