Answer:
(4x + 7y)(4x - 7y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite 16 as 4^2
= 4^2x^2 - 49y^2
Rewrite 49 as 7^2
= 4^2x^2 - 7^2y^2
Apply the Exponent Rule Pt 1 ((a^m*b^m =(ab)^m))
= (4x)^2 - 7^2y^2
Apply the Exponent Rule Pt 2
= (4x)^2 - (7y)^2
Apply Difference of Squares Formula (( x^2-y^2 = (x + y)(x - y)
= (4x + 7y) (4x - 7y)
Answer:
Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x
cost per square foot of sheet metal = $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sheet metal bought = 7.6 ft2
Total sheet metal used = 3.5 ft2
Given equation:
7.6x − 3.5x = 123
Where,
x = cost per square foot
7.6x − 3.5x
Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x
7.6x − 3.5x = 123
4.1x = 123
x = 123 / 4.1
x = $30
Cost per square foot = $30
The property shown is commutative multiplication. This property says that the product of two factors is not affected by the order in which they're multiplied. In this case, the product remains the same i.e., 2*8*5 = 80 while 2*5*8 <em>also </em>equals 80.
