Step-by-step explanation:
well,
(y - 7)² = (y - 7)(y - 7)
remember how to multiply 2 expressions ?
you have to multiply every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and sum the results all up (incl. considering their individual signs, of course).
so, when we do the multiplication, we get
(y - 7)(y - 7) = y×y - 7×y - 7×y + (-7)×(-7) =
= y² - 14y + 49
and that is clearly different to y² - 49
FYI
y² - 49 is the result of
(y - 7)(y + 7)
because
y×y + 7×y - 7×y + (-7)(7) = y² - 49
Answer:
$10775
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1 gallon of gas is $2.50, then the cost of 4310 gallons of gas will be:

Answer:

So then the correct answer is B. $200.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notation
Let X be the average contribution size before John makes his contribution.
Let Y be the total contribution size before John makes his contribution.
Let Z be John's contribution.
We know that for this case $ 75 represent the original average amount before the contribution with 50% increase so we can set up the following equation in order to find the original average amount

And solvong for X we got:

Now we can find the total contribution before the donation with the following proportion:


And then with the formula of average taking in count the 6 values we can find the size of donation Z like this:



So then the correct answer is B. $200.
