(x-2)(x+3)-(x-4)(2x+5)
(x - 2)(x + 3) = x^2 + x - 6
(x - 4)(2x + 5) = 2x^2 -3x -20
(x^2 + x - 6) - (2x^2 -3x -20)
x^2 + x - 6 - 2x^2 +3x + 20 = -x^2 + 4x +14
If 0 = -x^2 + 4x +14, then this may be solved with the quadratic equation. However, you did not indicate that it is an equation, only an expression. Therefore it may only be simplified.

SA = 4Πr^2 Let r = 2, then SA = 4Π2^2 = 4Π4 = 16Π Now, let r = 1, then SA = 4Π1^2 = 4Π So the ratio is 1/4. The surface new area is 1/4 of the original SA.01/13/19

Can you help me with this problem? The surface area of a sphere is the product of 4 pie and the square of the radius. How does the surface area change when the radius is halved?01/13/19
