OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, D!

OpenStudy (freckles):

sounds better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles do u know how to solve this?

OpenStudy (freckles):

that is a difference of squares

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

notice 9 is 3^2 and 16z^2 is (4z)^2

OpenStudy (freckles):

by the way multiplication is commutative so a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b) or you can write it as (a+b)(a-b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

āˆ’(4z+3)(4zāˆ’3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forget the -

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

1) One question per thread, please. Far too confusing, otherwise. 2) NEVER post a question without showing YOUR work. You HAVE to have SOEMTHING or you are in the wrong class.

OpenStudy (freckles):

looks like you factored 16z^2-9 instead

OpenStudy (freckles):

example if you are still having trouble 4-1=(2-1)(2+1) 1-4=(1-2)(1+2)
