(a) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)

(b) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7) 
Expand the brackets:
95 = x² -7x + 7x -49 = x² - 49
Subtract x² from both sides:
95-x² = -49
Subtract 95 from both sides:
-x²=-49-95 
-x²= -144
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative numbers:
-x²/-1=-144/-1
x²=144
Take the square root of 144:
x = ± squareroot of 144
x = 12 or -12
x = 12 because you cannot have a negative age so Trina is 12 years old.

Complementary angles always equal 90°
So here is how to find what mCYD + mFZE equal 
mCYD + mFZE + mAXB
mCYD + mFZE + 36° = 90°
Subtract 
mCYD + mFZE = 54°

Wich expression can be used to find the slope of a line containing the points (-3,2) and (7,-1)
docker41 [41]
A(x_1;\ y_1);\ B(x_2;\ y_2)\\\\\text{The slope:}\ m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}


\text{We have:}\\(-3;\ 2)\to\ x_1=-3;\ y_1=2\\(7;\ -1)\to x_2=7;\ y_2=-1

\text{substitute}\\\\m=\dfrac{-1-2}{7-(-3)}=\dfrac{-3}{10}=-\dfrac{3}{10}
