(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.

Answer:
x° = 79°
z° = 101°
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
c. (x^2+1)(x^2+a)-a = x^2(x^2+a+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use FOIL or the distributive property to expand the product of binomials, Then collect terms and factor out the common factor.
(x^2+1)(x^2+a)-a
= x^2(x^2 +a) +1(x^2 +a) -a
= x^4 +ax^2 +x^2 +a -a
= x^4 +ax^2 +x^2
= x^2(x^2 +a +1) . . . . . matches choice C
