Answer 4

Essays.. in math...

Answer 5

lol picture is to funny

Answer 6

(9x-5y)*(x-6y)
btw that's not me in the pic

Answer 7

ok lol

Answer 8

ohh include units.. anyway Area is length times width, so:
(9x-5y)(ft)*(x-6y)(ft) = (9x-5y)(x-6y)(ft^2)

Answer 9

is there more to it

Answer 10

yea

Answer 11

ok what comes after that

Answer 12

multiply that whole thing out...
(9x*x-9x*6y-5y*x+5y*6y)(ft^2) =
= (9x^2 - 54xy + 30y^2)(ft^2)

Answer 13

is that the simplest form anyone? i feel ancient, don't even know what simplest means.. maybe pull out a 3?

Answer 14

lol is that the whole thing

Answer 15

I think so.. i mean is the simplest form multiplied out or factored?

Answer 16

ok thanks

Answer 17

ACCESSDENIED!

Answer 18

You forgot your -5xy!

(9x*x-9x*6y-[[[[[5y*x]]]]]+5y*6y)(ft^2)
= (9x^2 - 54xy + 30y^2)(ft^2)

Don't forget those pesky -5xy's!

Answer 19

no i didn't.. did i?

Answer 20

oh yea i did, but so did u lol.

Answer 21

NATZ COME BACK!

Answer 22

Well, that was just quoting you. ;p

It would be -59xy instead.

Answer 23

lol kk

Answer 24

i am back

Answer 25

it was -59xy instead of -54xy

Answer 26

ok so it is laid out like this
(9x*x-9x*6y-[[[[[5y*x]]]]]+5y*6y)(ft^2)
= (9x^2 - 54xy + 30y^2)(ft^2)

Answer 27

Sorry, that's just my pointing out the -5xy with lots of brackets. :p

instead of "-54xy", you would have "-59xy." The rest is fine.

Answer 28

oh ok got it thank u so much
