Answer:
c. trapezoid
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers:
x + y = 108
The difference of the same two numbers:
x - y = 78
We can use substitution to figure out x and y:
x - y = 78 can be changed to x = 78 + y
We can plug this into the first equation:
78 + y + y = 108
78 + 2y = 108
2y = 30
y = 15
Now solve for x using any of the two equations. I'll use the first equation since it's easier:
x + 15 = 108
x = 93
Answer:
No, the following expression is not a difference of squares. Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares. 3 is not a square.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor
15x^2 - 25
(15x)^2(-5)^5
Divide by 3 and factor
5(3x^2-5)
"Theory:
A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression."
