This is what I come up with :
4x^2+9x
-9x+49?
OpenStudy (inspectorjoe):
4x^2-81+49 final results?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7 * -7 = -49
otherwise correct.
Combine like terms
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (inspectorjoe):

Because the middle section clear since it comes to zero right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Right the middle clears. Should be
\[4x^2-49\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because 7 * -7 = -49
OpenStudy (inspectorjoe):
Yes b cause a negative x a positive always equal to a negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (inspectorjoe):
Okay Here is my next problem:
(2x+3y+4)(2x+3y-4)
My answer is :
4x^2+12xy+9y2-20y. ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The first three terms are right. You may have made a mistake when combining.
\[(2x+3y+4)(2x+3y-4)\]
\[= 2x(2x+3y-4) + 3y(2x+3y-4) + 4(2x+3y-4)\]
\[=4x^2 + 6xy - 8x + 6xy + 9y^2 - 12y + 8x + 12y - 16\]
\[= 4x^2 + 12xy + 9y^2 - 16\]
