Answer:
x²-12x+36
Step-by-step explanation:
an expression in the form (a-b)² is expanded to the form a²-2ab+b²
you can also expand it to (x-6)×(x-6) then multiply the first term by the first the outer term by the outer term the inner term by the inner term and the last term by the last term (foil)
the first terms are x and x = x² the outer terms are x and -6 = -6x the inner terms are also x and -6 = -6x
the last terms are 6 and 6 = 36
adding all the four products =
x²-12x+36
Shea bought 13.5 pounds of corn
c = pounds of corn
b = pounds of beans
Here’s what we know:
c(0.99) + b(0.45) = 18.09
c + b = 24
Solve the second equation for c in terms of b
c = 24-b
Substitute that expression for c in our first equation to get a numerical solution for b:
0.99 (24-b) + 0.45b = 18.09
23.76 - 0.99b + 0.45b = 18.09
-0.54b = -5.67
b = 10.5
Substitute that value to get a numerical value for c:
c = 24 - b
c = 24 - 10.5
c = 13.5
Check the math:
0.99(13.5) + 0.45(10.5) =
13.365 + 4.725 = 18.09
Let's assign variables for the unknowns. Let x be the amount of total sales while x is the amount of net sales. It is called net sales because a percentage is still deducted from it. The equation will be written as:
Net Sale = Total Sales - 0.25*Total Sales
y = x - 0.25x
y = 0.75x
