<h3><u>4</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>m²</u><u>n</u><u>²</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>1</u></h3>

Rewrite m²n² - 1 as
. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule:
.

you move first the number without the variable to the other side with the opposite sign
-0.75p=0.25+2
-0.75p=2.25
then as -0.75 is multiplying you pass it to the other side dividing
p=2.25/-0.75
p=-3
Answer:
0.15% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
18.75 - 18.60 = 0.15
