Answer:
16 is the awnser or at least I belive
D , the answer is "six less than a number b"
Answer:
C) (a-12b)(a+12b)
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2-144b^2 = (a-12b)(a+12b)
This is the formula that when two terms squared are written with a minus sign between them their factors are the product of the original numbers once with a plus sign and once with the minus sign.
This can be explained by multiplying them.
(a-12b)
<u> *(a+12b) </u>
a²- 12ab
<u> +12ab - 144b² </u>
<u> a² +0 - 144b² </u>
We see we get the same answer as applying the formula above.
1,5, and 25. 1*25=25 and 5*5=25
