Answer:

  a factor of 2 is shown, but 4 was factored out

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of squares is factored as ...

  a² -b² = (a +b)(a -b)

Then the given difference of squares factors as ...

  144x² -100 = (12x)² -10² = (12x +10)(12x -10)

Each of these factors has a factor of 2 that can be factored out:

  = (2(6x +5))(2(6x -5))

  = (2·2)(6x +5)(6x -5)

  = 4(6x +5)(6x -5)

The first factor should be 4, not 2.

Alina [70]

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:

Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:

x + 2y = 48  

x = 48 - 2y     (1)

Also:

Area (A) = xy

A = (48 - 2y)y

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

A' = 48 - 4y

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12 feet

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

URGENT PLEASE HELP !!!!!
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Let P represent the number of pies sold and J represent the number of juices sold.

a)

The first equation for the sum of the sales:

P + J = 79

P = 79 - J

Next, for the sum of the amounts earned:

1.65P + 1.36J = 118.17

Substituting P,

1.65 (79 - J) + 1.36J = 118.17

J = 42

Using this value of J,

P = 79 - 42

P = 37

b)

Mr. Sanchez's class earned: 1.65 x 37 = $61.05

Mr. Kelly's class earned: 1.36 x 42 = $57.12

So Mr. Sanchez's class earned more money.

c) Mr. Sanchez's class earned:

61.05 - 57.12

= $3.93 more than Mr. Kelly's class

Step-by-step explanation:
