Which expression is equivalent to 16^2 − 36? (Explain) A. 4(2 − 3)(2 − 3)
B. 4(2 + 3)(2 − 3)
C. (4 − 6)(4 − 6)
D. (4 + 6)(4 + 6)

4(2x-3)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to simplify the given expression

we can have;

16x^2-36

= 4(4x^2 -9)

we can use the difference of two squares

where;

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a + b)

= 4(2x-3)(2x+ 3)

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
