q + 12 - 2(q - 22) > 0 |use distributive property
q + 12 +(-2)(q) + (-2)(-22) > 0
q + 12 - 2q + 44 > 0 |combine like terms
(q - 2q) + (12 + 44) > 0
-q + 56 > 0 |subtract 56 from both sdies
-q > -56 |change the signs
<h3>q < 56</h3>
1. Use the FOIL method: (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd
a^2b^2+8ab−9ab−72
2. Collect the like terms
a^2b^2+(8ab−9ab)−72
3. Simplify
a^2b^2-ab-72
Hope this helps
Answer: 28
Since we know there is a pattern of 20, 22, 24, and 26, we can see that there is a difference between each of the numbers of +2. Therefore, 26 + 2 = 28
