The denominator of the first term is a difference of squares, such that

4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em>)² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

So you can write the fractions as

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)/(2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

Multiply through the second fraction by 2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> to get a common denominator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²/((2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>))

((4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²) / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

Expand the numerator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (4<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + <em>b</em> ²)

4<em>ab</em>

<em />

So the original expression reduces to

4<em>ab</em> / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

or

4<em>ab</em> / (4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ²)

upon condensing the denominator again.

Rewrite the parametric equations by eliminating the parameter. Select ONE.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Y=(X-7)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

X=2t+3 -----> equation A

Y=t-2 -----> t=Y+2 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

X=2(Y+2)+3

X=2Y+4+3

X=2Y+7

solve for Y

2Y=X-7

Y=(X-7)/2

-6 - 3(2x + 4) = 18what’s the answer
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-3\left(2x+4\right)=18

Add 6 to both sides:

-6-3\left(2x+4\right)+6=18+6

-3\left(2x+4\right)=24

Divide both sides by -3:

\frac{-3\left(2x+4\right)}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}

2x+4=-8

Subtract 4 from both sides:

2x+4-4=-8-4

2x=-12

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}

x=-6
