X^2 - 25 is a difference of squares which has a special factorization.
In general, a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
x^2 - 25 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
x + 5 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x = -5 or x = 5
<span>If
a quantity increases by 25% and then decreases by 25%, will that result be the
original quantity? Explain.
Let’s try to be able to know the answer:
=> Let’s have 10 as the value
Increase by 25%
=> 10 + 25%
=> 10 * .25 = 2.5
=> 10 + 2.5 = 12.5 the new value
Now, decrease this by 25%
=> 12.5 – 25%
=> 12.5 * .25 = 3.125
=> 12.5 – 3.125 = 9.375 or 9.4
Thus, the given statement is false.

Answer:
-y=-x
The problem:
y=x then -y=?
Step-by-step explanation:
If y=x, then -y=-x.
Just like if u=9, then -u=-9.
Or, if -m=8, then m=-8.
8(5) - 4y = 39
40 - 4y = 39
-4y = -1, y = 1/4
Solution: y = 1/4
Answer:
child's ticket = 4.75 adult ticket=10.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of an adult ticket is 6 more than that of a child ticket, so will be denoted by c+6. Now, we are told that the cost of four child tickets and two adult tickets is 40.50, so we can put this in an equation and solve for c:
(c+6)+(c+6)+c+c+c+c=40.50
6c+12=40.50
6c=28.50
c=4.75
Therefore the cost of a child's ticket (c) is 4.75 and the cost of an adult ticket (c+6) is 10.75.
