First I would introduce the concept of comparing two number using the number line and say: placing two numbers on the number line, the number that is to the right of the other, is the larger number (unless they're equal).

I would then write -0.2 as a fraction: -1/5

Then partition the number line segment between -1 and 0 into fifths and place -1/5 on the first fifth boundary, closes to the 0 point. Then place -3/5 on the boundary of the third fifth (three fifths away from the 0 point into the negative direction). Then ask: which of the two is more to the right on the number line? The answer becomes clear: -1/5 > -3/5 because of the number line comparison concept mentioned at the beginning.

What is the following expression mulituply out (5x-6y)(5x-6y)
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

25x^2 - 60xy + 36y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 6y) ( 5x - 6y)

Use foil to get the result when this is expanded.

F: (first term in each factor): 5x*5x = 25x^2

I:  Use the last term first factor multiplied by first term second factor

- 6y * 5x = - 30xy

O:Outside. Use first term first factor and last term second factor

5x * -6y = - 30xy

L: last term in both factors -6y * - 6y = 36y^2

All them together

25x^2 - 30xy - 30xy + 36y^2

and combine

25x^2 - 60xy + 36y^2
