The correct next step Amy could take is to factor (x^2 - 16) on the left side of the equation to yield (x + 4)(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0.
The equation is given as:
The possible next steps are:
1. Expand the equation as follows
2. Express x^2 -16 as a difference of two squares as follows
However, the correct step in this case is to factor x^2 - 16 as a difference of two squares to give
This is so, because the question says Amy is trying to solve for variable x.
This step will ensure that she gets the possible values of x, unlike expanding the whole equation .
Hence, the correct next step is

Answer:
100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Subsets of the given set = 32
Proper subset of the given set = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Given set is {18, 8, 14, 9, 6} having 5 elements.
We know number of subsets of a set having n elements are represented by
where n is the number of elements in the set.
Therefore, subsets of the given set = 
= 32
Since original set itself is a subset of its own, is not a proper subset.
Therefore, proper subset of a set = 
= 
= 32 - 1
= 31
I believe the answer is either C or B .-.
