Answer:
8x = 136
Where: x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Joshua is writing a novel. He wrote the same number of pages each day for a 8 days. At the end of 8 days he had 136 pages complete. Write an equation relating x, the number of days, to y, the total pages.
Let the number of pages read per day = x
Hence, the number of pages after 8 days = 8 × x = 8x
Total number of pages = y= 136
Therefore:an equation relating x, the number of days, to y, the total pages.
= 136 = 8x
Solving for x
136/8 = x
x = 17

(a).
The product of two binomials is sometimes called FOIL.
It stands for ...
the product of the First terms (3j x 3j)
plus
the product of the Outside terms (3j x 5)
plus
the product of the Inside terms (-5 x 3j)
plus
the product of the Last terms (-5 x 5)
FOIL works for multiplying ANY two binomials (quantities with 2 terms).
Here's another tool that you can use for this particular problem (a).
It'll also be helpful when you get to part-c .
Notice that the terms are the same in both quantities ... 3j and 5 .
The only difference is they're added in the first one, and subtracted
in the other one.
Whenever you have
(the sum of two things) x (the difference of the same things)
the product is going to be
(the first thing)² minus (the second thing)² .
So in (a), that'll be (3j)² - (5)² = 9j² - 25 .
You could find the product with FOIL, or with this easier tool.
______________________________
(b).
This is the square of a binomial ... multiplying it by itself. So it's
another product of 2 binomials, that both happen to be the same:
(4h + 5) x (4h + 5) .
You can do the product with FOIL, or use another little tool:
The square of a binomial (4h + 5)² is ...
the square of the first term (4h)²
plus
the square of the last term (5)²
plus
double the product of the terms 2 · (4h · 5)
________________________________
(c).
Use the tool I gave you in part-a . . . twice .
The product of the first 2 binomials is (g² - 4) .
The product of the last 2 binomials is also (g² - 4) .
Now you can multiply these with FOIL,
or use the squaring tool I gave you in part-b .
You start by cross multiplying:
9 x 8 = 72
This is considered the fraction on the left's value.
You do the same for the other side:
10 x 7 = 70
This is considered the value of the fraction 7/8
72 has a greater value than 70.
Therefore, 9/10 is larger.
