Answer:

He will need (x+2)(x-2) units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so to solve this it is necessary to find the area of the room and subtract the area of the dance floor from it.

Fortunately, squares are a special case where we only need to... well square the side.

Therefore:

a =  {(3x - 4)}^{2}  -  {(2x - 6)}^{2}

Great. Difference of two squares.

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

Therefore:

a = (3x - 4  +  2x - 6) \\ (3x - 4  -  2x +6 )  \\  \\  a = (5x  - 10)(x + 2) \\ a = 5 {x}^{2}  - 20 \\ a =  {x}^{2}  - 4 \\ a = (x + 2)(x - 2)

(-8) - 3y= 25<br><br>if you have time please help, thank you​
Neko [114]

(-8) - 3y= 25

-8-3y= 25

move -8 to the other side

sign changes from -8 to +8

-8+8-3y=25+8

-3y= 33

divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself

and to get +y

-3y/-3= 33/-3

Answer:

y= -11

The table shows the price for different numbers of board games:
zlopas [31]

Answer:

We conclude that the price is 3.5 times the number of board games.

Hence, option B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, the equation is

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the proportionality constant.

From the table,

For the point (2, 7)

k = y/x

  = 7/2

  = 3.5

For the point (4, 14)

k = y/x

   = 14 / 4

   = 7/2

    = 3.5

For the point (5, 17.50)

k  = y/x

   = 17.5 / 5

   = 3.5

For the point (9, 31.50)

k  = y/x

   = 31.50 / 9

   = 3.5

From the above calculations, we computed that the value of the proportionality constant remains the same.

Thus, the table of numbers represents a proportional relationship.

Therefore, the equation becomes

y = kx

The price of 2 board game

y = 3.5 (2)

  = 7

The price of 4 board game

y = 3.5 (4)

  = 14

Therefore, we conclude that the price is 3.5 times the number of board games.

Hence, option B is true.
