Answer:
* = b²
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the square of a binomial is of the form ...
(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²
Matching given terms, we have ...
49 = y²
2xy = 14b
Solving the first of these relations for y, we have
y = √49 = 7
Putting that in the second relation and solving for x, we find ...
2x·7 = 14b
14x = 14b
x = b
Then the first term of the expansion, x², will be b².
The missing term is b².

Answer:
y = -x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form can be a useful place to start.
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
You require the line ...
y -(-4) = -1(x -7)
y = -x +7 -4 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add -4
y = -x +3 . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form
If the question is what I think it is, then it's simple. All you need to do is divide 420 by 15; and you'll get the answer: 28.
