Answer:
E) b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the first equation for a, we get ...
a - b = 0
a = b . . . . . . add b to both sides
Now, the expression ab can be rewritten as
ab = bb = b^2 . . . . . . substitute b for a
When parentheses are around a number being squared, the output value will always be positive.
For example: -2² vs (-2)²
-2² means the <em>negative of the square of two</em>, or -4
(-2)² means the <u /><em>square of negative two</em>, or 4
<em />

<em>5 footballs were sold for every 2 basketballs sold.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 times as many football as basketball was sold last year
This can be represented as
1 basket ball sold = 2.5 footballs sold
for every 2 basketball sold, number of football sold = 2.5 x 2 = <em>5 footballs</em>
