Answer:

(3x^2 - 1)(3x^2 + 1)(9x^4 + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity for the difference of 2 squares;

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)  

we put a^2 = 81x^8 and b^2 = 1  giving

a = 9x^4 and b = 1, so:

81x^8 − 1 =   (9x^4 - 1)(9x^4 + 1)

Applying the difference of 2 squares to 9x^4 - 1:

= (3x^2 - 1)(3x^2 + 1)(9x^4 + 1).

Solve for x. Please show your work. 2x + 6 = 3x - 2
Valentin [98]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 6 = 3x - 2

then subtract the 6 from both sides of the equation

2x = 3x - 8

then subtract the 3x from both sides of the equation

- 1x =  - 8

then divide each side by -1

x = 8
