Is x^ 2 - 16 the difference between two squares? Why?

x1= -4

x2 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equation equal to zero

x2 − 16 = 0

then

(x + 4)(x − 4) = 0

(x+4)= 0 which is equal to -4

and

(x-4)= 0 equals 4

yes, x^ 2 - 16 is equal two (x+4)(x-4), which is a differnce between two squares ot the formula, a^2-b= (a+b)(a-b)

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
