<h3>Answer:  a = 16</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's expand out that given expression.

First I'll let w = y-4x to make distribution a bit easier

(y-4x)(y^2+4y+16)\\\\w(y^2+4y+16)\\\\wy^2+4wy+16w\\\\

Now plug w = y-4x back in and distribute three more times

wy^2+4wy+16w\\\\y^2(w)+4y(w)+16(w)\\\\y^2(y-4x)+4y(y-4x)+16(y-4x)\\\\y^3-4xy^2+4y^2-\boldsymbol{16}xy+16y-64x\\\\

Notice that the only xy term here is the -16xy

Comparing this to the form -axy shows that \boldsymbol{a = 16}

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Scale= 1cm:2m

Required

Determine the measurement when the scale reads 6cm

Represent this scale with x;

Such that:

Scale = 6cm:x

Equate

Scale= 1cm:2m and Scale = 6cm:x

1cm:2m = 6cm:x

Express as fraction

\frac{1cm}{2m} = \frac{6cm}{x}

Cross Multiply

x * 1cm = 6cm * 2m

x * 1 = 6 * 2m

x = 6 * 2m

x = 12m
