Its 249 because the difference 726-447 is 249
Answer:
parents
Step-by-step explanation:
ask them for it
1. Expand
2x − 2 + 4 = 4x + 4
2. Simply
2x + 2 = 4x + 4
3. Subtract
2 = 4x + 4 - 2x
4. Simplify
2 = 2x + 4
5.Subtract
2 - 4 = 2x
6. Simplify
-2 = 2x
7. Divide both sides by
-1 = x
8.Switch sides.
x = -1

Answer: False</h3>
==============================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming you meant to type out
(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4
This equation is not true for all real numbers because the left hand side expands out like so
(y-2)^2
(y-2)(y-2)
x(y-2) .... let x = y-2
xy-2x
y(x)-2(x)
y(y-2)-2(y-2) ... replace x with y-2
y^2-2y-2y+4
y^2-4y+4
So if the claim was (y-2)^2 = y^2-4y+4, then the claim would be true. However, the right hand side we're given doesn't match up with y^2-4y+4
--------------------------
Another approach is to pick some y value such as y = 2 to find that
(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4
(2-2)^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4 .... plug in y = 2
0^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4
0 = 4 - 6(2) + 4
0 = 4 - 12 + 4
0 = -4
We get a false statement. This is one counterexample showing the given equation is not true for all values of y.
