The correct answer is: [D]: " 4x² − 12x − 4 " .

Explanation:
___________________________________________________
Given:
___________________________________________________
" (16x² − 16) + ( -12x² − 12x + 12) " ; Simplify.
___________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property of multiplication:
___________________________________________________
a(b + c) = ab + ac ;
a(b − c) = ab − ac .
___________________________________________________
So we can rewrite the expression as:
" (16x² − 16) + 1( -12x² − 12x + 12) " ;
{The "1" is implied; since "1", multiplied by any value, results in the exact same value.}.
Let us examine the following part of the expression:
_________________________________________________
" + 1 ( -12x² − 12x + 12 ) " ;
Using the distributive property of multiplication:
" + 1 ( -12x² − 12x + 12 ) = (1 * -12x²) − (1 * 12x) + (1 * 12) ;
= " − 12x² − 12x + 12 " ;
_________________________________________________
Now, bring down the other part of the expression; & rewrite:
_________________________________________________
→ " (16x² − 16) − 12x² − 12x + 12 " ;
→ " 16x² − 16 − 12x² − 12x + 12 " ;
Now, combine the "like terms" :
+ 16x² − 12x² = 4x² ;
− 16 + 12 = -4 ;
and we have " − 12x" ;
So we can rewrite the expression as:
_______________________________________________________
→ " 4x² − 12x − 4 " ;
→ which is: "Answer choice: [D]: " 4x² − 12x − 4 <span>" .

Answer: They are all divisible by 2.
Step-by-step explanation: They all have 2 in common. If you divide them by 2, they all work. Also, if you simplify all to the lowest number, they equal 2 except 2 itself which equals 1.

Answer:
∠ p ≈ 59°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle ABD to find DB
DB² = 5² + 6² = 25 + 36 = 61 ( take square root of both sides )
DB = 
---------------------------------------
Using the cosine ratio in right triangle DBC
cos p = 
= 
= 
, thus
p = 
( ) ≈ 59°
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer would be 0 because you have to subtract 3 by 5 you get the answer 2. Then you subtract 4 by 2 and you 2. After that you multiply 2 by 2 getting the answer 4.
