Answer:

The required expression is $4x^2-25$

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of squares formula is given by

$(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$

We have been given that one factor is 2x+5. Hence, a = 2x, b = 5

It means that other factor must be (a-b) = (2x-5)

Hence, in order to find the expression, we can multiply the factors.

$(2x+5)(2x-5)$

Using the difference of squares formula

$(2x+5)(2x-5)\\\\=(2x)^2-5^2\\\\4x^2-25$

Therefore, the required expression is $4x^2-25$

Gabe drove 124 miles in 150 minutes. find Gabe's speed in kilometers per hour. HELP PLEASE FOR MY TEST TMMRW

First, you need to convert the minutes into hours, to do this you divide the minutes by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour). Once you've gotten the value (which is 2.5), you divide that by the amount of miles drove, then you get the unit rate, or in other words the kilometers per hour, which equals 49.6 km/h

There are 7 acts in a talent show.

Answer:

Event A: 1/35

Event B: 1/840

Explanation:

Event A

For the event A, the order of the first 4 acts does not matter.

The number of different four acts taken from a set of seven acts, when the order does not matter, is calculated using the concept of combinations.

Thus, the number of ways that the first four acts can be scheduled is:

$C(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}$
