The student is not correct.
Absolute value means distance from zero
|-9| = 9
|4| = 4
Since 9 is greater than 4,
|-9| is greater than |4|
In other words, -9 is further from zero then 4
Answer:
(2x-9)(2x+9)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a difference of squares because it can be written as (2x)^2-9^2
The formula for factoring a difference of squares is a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
So replace a with 2x and b with 9 giving us
4x^2-81=(2x-9)(2x+9)
Answer:
let's see what to do...
Step-by-step explanation:
H is between G and I.
G I = G H + H I
38 = 8 x + 7 + 3x - 2
38 = 11 x + 5
subtract the sides of equation minus 5
38 - 5 = 11 x + 5 - 5
33 = 11 x
divided the sides of equation by 11
33 ÷ 11 = 11 x ÷ 11
3 = x
So the lenght of (G H) is :
8 x + 7 -----¢ 8 (3) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31
And we're done.
Thanks for watching buddy good luck.

Answer:
-4 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Method 1</u>
Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula: 
Given 
Rewrite 16 as 4²
Therefore,
and 






<u>Method 2</u>
Given equation:

Add 16 to both sides:


Square root both sides:


Therefore, x = -4, x = 4
