Answer: 25x² - 64
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(5x + 8)(5x - 8)
= 5x(5x - 8) + 8(5x - 8)
= 25x² - 40x + 40x - 64
= 25x² + 0x - 64
= 
NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.
For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)
3x+5y=16 is linear equation........
107 = 7 -2 (7b - 1)
First, distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis
-2(7b - 1) = -14b + 2
107 = 7 -14b + 2
Combine like terms
107 = -14b (+7 + 2)
107 = -14b + 9
Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
Subtract 9 from both sides
107 (-9) = -14b + 9 (-9)
107 - 9 = -14b
98 = -14b
Isolate the b. Divide -14 from both sides
(98)/-14 = (-14b)/-14
98/-14 = b
b = −7
-7 is your answer
hope this helps
2x + 6 < x + 20
- x - x
x + 6 < 20
- 6 - 6
x < 14
Solution Set: (-∞, 14)
