Leticia charges $8 per hour to babysit. She babysat Friday night for 4 hours,
JulsSmile [24]

For this case we have that the variable "x" represents the number of hours that Leticia uses to take care of children on Saturday.

IF on Friday I use 4 hours ($ 8 each) and on Saturday "x" hours ($ 8 each) obtaining a profit of $ 72, we have the following equation:

8 (4 + x) = 72

We apply distributive property:

32 + 8x = 72\\8x = 72-32\\8x = 40\\x = \frac {40} {8}\\x = 5

So, on Saturday she spent 5 hours.

Answer:

8 (4 + x) = 72\\x = 5

Find each product.<br> 1) (5n - 5)(4n - 4)
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

20n² - 40n + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(5n - 5)(4n - 4)

= 5n(4n) + 5n(-4) - 5(4n) - 5(-4)

= 20n² - 20n - 20n + 20

= 20n² - 40n + 20

Another way to do this:

(5n - 5)(4n - 4)

= 5(n - 1) * 4(n - 1)

= 20(n - 1)(n - 1)

= 20(n - 1)²

= 20(n² - 2n + 1)

= 20n² - 40n + 20
