Answer:
A = 4a² - 4ab + b²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a square is calculated as
A = s² ( s is the side length ) , so
A = (2a - b)² ← expand using FOIL
= (2a)² - 2ab - 2ab + (- b)²
= 4a² - 4ab + b²
1 2/3y = 3x

Answer:
is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?
In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.
Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n. If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.
No stress! Just logic! Keep the faith!
Step-by-step explanation:
First hour: 3 = 3¹
Second hour: (3) x 3 = 3²
Third hour: (3 x 3) x 3 = 3³
Fourth hour: (3 x 3 x 3) x 3 = 3⁴
Do you see the pattern? <em> where n is the number of hours</em>
Answer: 3³,
