Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this as the difference of squares:
(5b⁸+8c)(5b⁸-8c)
To write as the difference of squares, take the square root of each term first:
√25b¹⁶ = 5b⁸; √64c² = 8c
Now we write this as a sum in one binomial and a difference in the other:
(5b⁸+8c)(5b⁸-8c)
Multiply you first equation by 2 to get 4x + 10y = 22
Now the x terms can be eliminated and cancelled out using elimination.
4x + 10y = 22
4x + 3y = 1
To eliminate you need to "subtract", so you need to multiply one of the equations by -1.
4x + 10y = 22
-4x -3y = -1
------------------
0 + 7y = 21
y = 3
Now plug 3 into either one of the equations to get x.
1. The square on the inside is 8 x 8 = 64
2. The triangle's area is 8x9x1/2= 72 x 1/2 = 36
3. there are 4 triangles so 36 x 4 = (or 72 x 2 ) = 144 :)
