FOIL method
First:
u squared times u squared equals to u to the fourth.
Outer and Inner:
8u squared + u squared equal 9u squared. Remember, the exponents don't change when adding!
Last:
8 times 1 equals 8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) if to re-write the given equation into slope-interception form, then:

the slope of the given line is 5/2;
2) according to the rule of perpendicular, the required slope should be:
s*(5/2)=-1;
3) if to solve this equation (s*5/2=-1), then s=-2/5 or -0.4.
Answer:
9 16-ounce packages
Step-by-step explanation:
144oz. ÷ 16 = 9 Packages
Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x
7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21
Ni: 7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg
Zn: 2x=2*0.21=0.42≈0.4 kg
Cu: 9x=9*0.21=1.89 ≈1.9 kg
Check 1.5+0.4+1.9 =3.8 True
