Step-by-step explanation:
This is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
16
= ( 4
)² ⇒ a = 4
1 = 1² ⇒ b = 1
Hence
16
- 1
= (4
)² - 1²
= (4
- 1)(4
+ 1)
4
- 1 ← is also a difference of squares and factors as
(2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)
Thus
16
- 1
= (2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)(4
+ 1 )
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.
Solve for y.
6x - 2y = 18
-2y = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2 =

<-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x
Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.
y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9
Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.
So, 3 is the slope.
Let the number of tie-dyed T-shirts = x
The man sold 4 times as many tie-dyed T-shirts as silk-screened shirts.
So, the number of silk-screened shirts = 4x
He sold 180 shirts altogether
So,

So, the number of tie-dyed shirts = 36
Answer:
$54.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount borrowed = $560
Interest paid in the 12-month period = 6.5% of 560 =$36.4
The amount of interest Trudy pays in 18 months is worked out as
Monthly interest = $36.4/12
Interest payable in 18 months
= ($36.4/12) x 18
= $54.6
