Factorise (2t-7)²-(5t-4)² with working pls

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

33+12t−21t^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2t-7)²-(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (2t-7)².

4t^2−28t+49−(5t-4)²

Use binomial theorem (a−b)^2 = a^2−2ab+b^2 to expand (5t-4)².

4t^2−28t+49−(25t^2−40t+16)

To find the opposite of 25t^2

−40t+16, find the opposite of each term.

4t^2−28t+49−25t^2−40t+16

Combine 4t^2 and −25t^2 to get −21t^2.

−21t^2−28t+49+40t−16

Combine −28t and 40t to get 12t.

−21t^2+12t+49−16

Subtract 16 from 49 to get 33.

−21t^2+12t+33

Swap terms to the left side.

33+12t−21t^2

I hope this helped!

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups. Use a ratio table to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups.

Now, to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Let the number of calories in 5.5 cups be $x.$

As, in 2 cups there are 180 calories.

2 cups is equivalent to 180 calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $2:180.$

So, in 5.5 cups there are $x$ calories.

5.5 cups is equivalent to $x$ calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $5.5:x.$

Now, we set proportion to get the number of calories in 5.5 cups:

$2:180::5.5:x$

$\frac{2}{180} =\frac{5.5}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$2x=990$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$x=495$ .

Therefore, the number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.
