First Part:
For every parenthesis with a plus sign to its left, you can eliminate the parenthesis (take into account that plus×minus=minus)
a + a - b - a + b
Then you add like terms. This means you add/subtract a with a and same with b and b (I'll organize the terms in alphabetical order but it's not neccesary)
a + a - a - b + b
Since a - a =0 and b - b = 0,
a + 0 + 0
Answer: a
Second part
Since you have a minus to the left of a parenthesis, you have to change the signs of all the terms inside the parenthesis before you eliminate the parenthesis.

Answer: 2a^2
Answer:
The similarity ratio is 4 4/1 or 4
Step-by-step explanation:
You find that one of them has side lengths of 1 and the other has side lengths of 4
Sam would have to get a 97 on his next test in order to maintain his average score at an 85. This is because if you add up 63, 84, 96, and 97 you get 340. When you divide 340 by the 4 test scores you get an average of exactly 85
Answer:
= 3√3 + 3i
Step-by-step explanation:
Cos 30° = √3/2
Sin 30° = 1/2
Therefore;
z = 6 (cos 30° + i6 sin 30°)
= 6 (√3/2) + i 6 (1/2)
= 3√3 + 3i
