Answer:

* = b²

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the square of a binomial is of the form ...

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Matching given terms, we have ...

49 = y²

2xy = 14b

Solving the first of these relations for y, we have

y = √49 = 7

Putting that in the second relation and solving for x, we find ...

2x·7 = 14b

14x = 14b

x = b

Then the first term of the expansion, x², will be b².

The missing term is b².

Roger mixed 5/8 cup of red paint with 2/5 cup of yellow paint. How much red paint is needed (using the same ratio) if he wants t

never [62]

Set up the ratio as fractions

(5/8) cup red / (2/5) cup yellow = r amount of red / 1 cup yellow

Then cross multiply the numbers and set up as a equation like this

(5/8) × 1 = (2/5) × r

(5/8) = (2/5)r

Multiply both sides of the equation by (5/2) to get rid of the fraction and solve for r

(5/2) × (5/8) = (2/5)r × (5/2)

25/16 = r

Reduce down to 5/4 or change to a mixed number

1 and 1/4 cups = r

Which of the following algebraic expressions is not simplified?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Option D. a^2+6ab-2ba

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D because we have like terms: 6ab and -2ba=-2ab, then

a^2+6ab-2ba=a^2+6ab-2ab

Simplifying on the right side of the equation adding like terms:

a^2+6ab-2ba=a^2+4ab
