The left hand side of the equation is a difference of two squares and may be factored out as follows,
(x - 4)(x + 4) > 0
They may be individually taken as,
x - 4 > 0 ; x > 4
x + 4 > 0 ; x < -4
Thus, the answer to this item is letter A.
Answer:
216x^9y^12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the slower cars speed equal X.
The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).
They traveled for 3 hours
Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.
So you have:
3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles
Simplify the left side:
3X + 3X+15 = 267
Combine like terms:
6x + 15 = 267
Subtract 15 from each side"
6x = 252
Divide each side by 6:
x = 252 / 6
X = 42
The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.
Multiple 16 by 1 and then divide by 8 which makes 2.
Multiply 36 by 1 and then divide by 9 which makes 4.
