@JaneDoe100 Are you still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but its 5, right?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Why did you say "no"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i wasnt at my computer so i wasnt hear when you asked

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Oh...OK and yes the answer is 5=3+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. Can you help me with this one 2? the simpler form of (5x³+2)(5x³-2)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

That is known as a difference of squares because it is the sum of two numbers 5x^3 and 2 times thier difference: $$(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$a=5x^3$$ $$b=2$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 25x(to the power of 6)-4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than what?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, you are correct.
