Use the difference of two squares to find the product of 22 and 18. Enter the correct number in each box. ( + )( − ) = ( )2 − ( )2 = 396

(20+2) (20-2) = 20² - 2²

20² - 2² = 396

Step-by-step explanation:

from the rule of the difference of two square which states thate

       (a + b)(a − b) = a² − b²

therefore, 22 can also be written as (20 + 2),

while 18 can be written as (20 -2)

therefore by the rule of the difference of two square the product of both expression will give

      (20+2) (20-2) = 20² - 2² = 400 - 4 = 396

Step-by-step explanation:

= (20 + 2) × (20 - 2)

= 22 × 18

= a^2 - b^2 = 396

= (a + b) × (a - b) = 396

From the above, a = 20 and b = 2.

Therefore,

(20^2) - (2^2) = 396.

da freeck kinda math is this just drop out

step-by-step explanation:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
