:
4a2 - b2
Simplify ————————
2a - b
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
2.1 Factoring: 4a2 - b2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Factorization is : (2a + b) • (2a - b)
Canceling Out :
2.2 Cancel out (2a - b) which appears on both sides of the fraction line.
Final result :
2a + b
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the negative reciprocal of the slope<span>. The solution can be obtained by solving y=−0.5x+b using the information given. It is also worth knowing that if the </span>line passes through the origin<span>, the y intercept is already determined (it is 0 since the </span>line<span>will </span>pass through<span> the y axis at 0)</span>

Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the 16 "ratio units" representing all 80 dancers must stand for ...
(80 dancers)/(16) = 5 dancers
Then 5 "ratio units" representing seventh-grade dancers will stand for ...
5 × 5 dancers = 25 dancers
___
Another way to figure this is to write the proportion ...
(seventh-grade dancers)/(all dancers) = 5/16
seventh-grade dancers = (all dancers)×(5/16) = 80×5/16
seventh-grade dancers = 25
