Answer

Bulid the equation for the statement given in the question.

To prove

As given in the question.

Over the course of a year

A company goes from 115 employees to 124 employees this represented the change in the employees in company.

Let us assume that the change in the employees in the company be x.

Than the equation becomes

x + 115 = 124

x = 124 - 115

x = 9

Therefore this represented the increase in number of employees by 9 .

Factorise 9w² - 100

ohaa [14]

Answer:

$9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w - 10) \, (3\, w + 10)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Fact:

$\begin{aligned} & (a - b)\, (a + b)\\ =\; & a^{2} + a\, b - a\, b - b^{2} \\ =\; & a^{2} - b^{2} \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, $(a^{2} - b^{2})$ , the difference of two squares in the form $a^{2}$ and $b^{2}$ , could be factorized into $(a - b)\, (a + b)$ .

In this question, the expression $(9\, w^{2} - 100)$ is the difference between two terms: $9\, w^{2}$ and $100$ .

$9\, w^{2}$ is the square of $3\, w$ . That is: $(3\, w)^{2} = 9\, w^{2}$ .
On the other hand, $10^{2} = 100$ .

Hence:

$9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2}$ .

Apply the fact that $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a - b) \, (a + b)$ to factorize this expression. (In this case, $a = 3\, w$ whereas $b = 10$ .)

$\begin{aligned}& 9\, w^{2} - 100 \\ =\; & (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2} \\ = \; & (3\, w - 10)\, (3\, w + 10)\end{aligned}$ .

The governor of state A earns 50, 440 more than the governor of state B. If the total of their salaries is $283,910, can you fin

WITCHER [35]

Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!
