A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. It can be determined if it is a difference of two squares when you factor it.
The resulting factor of a trinomial that is a difference of two squares is: a²<span> – b</span>²<span> = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b)</span>
You will notice that the middle term is missing. This means that the middle term zeroes out as a result of having the same number of different signs (+ and -)
70 / 14.7 = 4.8
the correct answer is 4.8

Answer:
a = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for a:
2 (a + 5) - 1 = 3
Hint: | Distribute 2 over a + 5.
2 (a + 5) = 2 a + 10:
(2 a + 10) - 1 = 3
Hint: | Group like terms in 2 a - 1 + 10.
Grouping like terms, 2 a - 1 + 10 = 2 a + (10 - 1):
(2 a + (10 - 1)) = 3
Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 1.
10 - 1 = 9:
2 a + 9 = 3
Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.
Subtract 9 from both sides:
2 a + (9 - 9) = 3 - 9
Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.
9 - 9 = 0:
2 a = 3 - 9
Hint: | Evaluate 3 - 9.
3 - 9 = -6:
2 a = -6
Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of 2 a = -6 by 2:
(2 a)/2 = (-6)/2
Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
2/2 = 1:
a = (-6)/2
Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.
The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:
Answer: a = -3
Answer:
kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S be amount of strawberries picked in the afternoon.
We have been given that Sheldon harvest the strawberries and tomatoes in his garden. He picks 1 2/5 kg less strawberries in the morning than in the afternoon and the strawberries picked in morning are
kg.
To find the amount of strawberries picked by Sheldon in the afternoon we will add
and
:
Upon converting our given mixed fractions into improper fraction we will get,

Now let us have a common denominator.


Therefore, Sheldon picked
kg of strawberries in the afternoon.
