Answer:

16w^2  - 24w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this, you would use the special product (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. We can correlate this with the given term so that,

a = 4w

and

b = 3

Now we just substitute into a^2 - 2ab + b^2

(4w)^2 - 2(4w)(3) + (3)^2

16w^2  - 24w + 9

<h3>Answer:     16w^2 - 24w + 9</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

(4w-3)^2 is the same as (4w-3)(4w-3) because squaring something is the same as multiplying it by itself.

Another example would be something like 7^2 = 7*7

-----------

So we're asked to expand out (4w-3)(4w-3)

Let's make x = 4w-3 and replace that first copy of '4w-3' with 'x'

We get this expression:  x(4w-3)

Distribute the x through to get...

x(4w-3)

x*4w + x*(-3)

4wx - 3x

-------------

Now replace the x with (4w-3) and apply distribution twice more

4wx - 3x

4w(4w-3) - 3(4w-3)

16w^2 - 12w - 12w + 9

16w^2 - 24w + 9  which is the answer

-------------

You can use the FOIL rule as an alternative method to get this answer. The box method is a visual tool to keep all the terms organized. See the attached image below for what I mean by the box method. The four terms inside the boxes represent the four terms from 16w^2 - 12w - 12w + 9, which was the second to last step we got shown above.

Yet another alternative you could use is the perfect square formula which is

(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

where in this case, a = 4w and b = 3.

7 + 2y = 8x 3x - 2y = 0 Solve the system of equations by substitution. (70/3, 140/9) (7/5, 21/10) no solution coincident
Wittaler [7]
So we have the system of equations:
7+2y=8x equation (1)
3x-2y=0 equation (2)

To use substitution, we are going to solve for one variable in one of our equations, and then we are going to replace that value in the other equation:
Solving for x in equation (2):
3x-2y=0
3x=2y
x= \frac{2}{3}y equation (3)

Replacing equation (3) in equation (1):
7+2y=8x
7+2y=8( \frac{2}{3} y)
7+2y= \frac{16}{3} y
7= \frac{10}{3} y
y= \frac{7}{ \frac{10}{3} }
y= \frac{21}{10} equation (4)

Replacing equation (4) in equation (3):
x= \frac{2}{3}y
x=( \frac{2}{3} )( \frac{21}{10} )
x= \frac{7}{5}

We can conclude that the solution of our system of equations is <span>(7/5, 21/10)</span>
