Given, (9x - 4)(9x + 4) = ax² - b
From algebraic identities:
We know, (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²
Now, 81x² + 36x - 36x - 16 = ax² - b
81x² - 16 = axis² - b
So ax² = 81x²
a = 81
-b = -16
b = 16
Solution
Therefore, the value of a is 81.
<h2>MyHeritage</h2>
She should have added 2 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 2.
2x -2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides:
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 8
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
i don't see options to select from but my guess would be 8 because 7/8 is very close to being one and 8 1/10 is close to 8; 8 x 1 = 8
