Answer: Rico is right.
(-1)(3x + 5)²
Step-by-step explanation: If it were the difference of two squares, the -30x would not be there.
It makes sense to factor out (-1) fry the trinomial, leaving all positive terms.
Then factor 9x² + 30x + 25 as
(3x + 5)²
1,2,and 4 are factors that 8 & 12 have in common
The answer is one and five eighths.
<u>Given</u>:
The given figure shows the intersection of the two lines.
The angles formed by the intersection of the two lines are (3x - 8)° and (2x + 12)°
We need to determine the equation to solve for x and to find the value of x.
<u>Equation to solve for x:</u>
Since, the two angles (3x - 8)° and (2x + 12)° are vertically opposite angles and the vertical angles are always equal.
Hence, we have;

Thus, the equation to solve for x is 
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined by solving the equation 
Thus, we have;


Thus, the value of x is 20.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically first distribute the -5 to the stuff in the parenthesis and then solve.
Hope I helped!! :)
