Factorize (X + 2 y)square - (2 x minus y) square​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

- (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² ← expand both parenthesis using FOIL

= x² + 4xy + 4y² - (4x² - 4xy + y²) ← distribute

= x² + 4xy + 4y² - 4x² + 4xy - y² ← collect like terms

= - 3x² + 8xy + 3y² ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - 1(3x² - 8xy - 3y²) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the coefficient of the y² term which sum to give the coefficient of the xy- term.

product = 3 × - 3 = - 9 and sum = - 8

The factors are - 9 and + 1

Use these factors to split the xy- term

3x² - 9xy + xy - 3y² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x - 3y) + y(x - 3y) ← factor out (x - 3y) from each term

= (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Thus

(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² = - (x - 3y)(3x + y)

Compensation for the year:$51,810(deducting vehicle expense)

An employee makes 48,700+1,530(health insurance)+2,810(paid time)=

53,040.  Also they receive 0.53 per mile x 9,000 miles=4,770

53,040 +4,770=57,810(employment compensation)

Personal work vehicle expense: 500 x 12 months=6,000

57,810 - 6,000= 51,810

Jamie is making a beaded necklace the ratio of blue beads to purple beads is 4:3 if jamie uses 56 blue beads and purple beads to
blsea [12.9K]
She will use 42 purple beads.

Explanation
We will use a proportion to solve this. 

The ratio of blue to purple beads is 4:3, or 4/3.
We know she uses 56 blue beads and an unknown amount, x, of purple beads.  This gives us 56/x.

Together, we have
4/3 = 56/x

Cross multiply:
4*x = 3*56
4x = 168

Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 168/4
x = 42
