Expand. If necessary, combine like terms. (5x-6)^2=

 -60x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-6)^2  can be expanded to

(5x-6)(5x-6)     apply the distributive property twice.

5x(5x-6) = 25x^2 -30x

-6(5x -6) = -30x +36

Rewrite it and combine like terms

25^2 -30x -30x +36

25^2 -60x +36

25x²-60x+36

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-6)²

Expand the brackets.

(5x-6)(5x-6)

5x(5x-6)-6(5x-6)

Multiply.

25x²-30x-30x+36

Add or subtract the like terms.

25x²-60x+36

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
