2abc - 3ab ║ 2 (2) (3) (4) - 3 (2) (3)
You would multiply and the products - you are going to subtract
2 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 48
3 × 2 × 3 = - 18

answer: 30

$=(a^2-10a)-(b^2+6b) +16$
$=[(a^2-2(5)a+25)-25]-[(b^2+2(3)b+9)-9]+16$
$=(a-5)^2-25-(b+3)^2+9+16$
$=(a-5)^2-(b+3)^2$

<u></u>
Explanation:

For five diffferent dogs to be put in pairs, the number of different pairs is:

A = 1/2 x bh
A = 1/2 x 5 x 12
A = 6 x 5
A = 30m
