Answer:
x^2 - 64
Step-by-step explanation:
A difference of squares is a special product in the form (a^2 - b^2)..their factored form is (a - b)(a + b)..
Thus here a = x and b = 8, thus if x + 8 is a factor, then x - 8 is also a factor..
(x + 8)(x - 8) <-- expand this out using difference of squares rules..
= (x)^2 - (8)^2
= x^2 - 64 <-- answer...
You could also expand that using FOIL (FOIL - first, outer, inner, last)..
(x + 8)(x - 8)
= (x)(x) + (x)(-8) + (8)(x) + (8)(-8)
= x^2 - 8x + 8x - 64 <-- the -8x and 8x cancels out..leaving you with..
= x^2 - 64
When you factor you get (x-2)(x-3)=0 then x=2 and x=3
Answer:
2.92
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal price
4 * 6.98 =27.92
Sale price
2 for 12.50 means 4 at 2* 12.50
2*12.50 = 25
Subtract
27.92-25=2.92
He saved 2.92
X + Y + Z = 8
2x = Z - 2
X + Z = 5
X = 1
1 + Y + Z = 8
Y + Z = 6
1 + Z = 5
Z = 4
1 + Y + 4 = 8
5 + Y = 8
Y = 3
The variables are 1, 3, 4.
Answer:
Gabriela needs to sell 4 more cups of coffee to make a profit of $75.
She sells 90 cups and makes $0.80 profit on each cup. That equals $72 profit.
90 x $0.80= $72
She wants to make $75 profit.
$75 - $72 = $3 profit short for the day
$3/$0.80 = 3.75 cups of coffee short so to make her profit she must sell a total of 94 cups of coffee for the day or an additional 4 cups.
