Answer:
<h2>
Most explained:</h2>
40% = 100%
15 = (100% - 15% = 85%) 85% in Alaska
California = 15% of 40 = (0.15 x 40) = 6
Alaska = 85% of 40 = (0.85 x 40) = 34
<h2>The simple way (or the way i found it simple):</h2>
<h3>40 - 15 = 34</h3><h3>15% of 40 = 6</h3>
<h3>(I found the simple way after i solve the first way)</h3>
Bye, i hope this helps.

Answer:
Factoring the trinomial:
we get the factors 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor the trinomial: 
We can factor the trinomial by breaking the middle term i.e 13x
Such that adding or subtracting gets the both terms we get 13x and multiplying both terms we get 12x^2
We can break 13x as: 12x and x
Adding them we get 13x and multiplying them we get 12x^2
So,

So, Factoring the trinomial:
we get the factors 
The answer for the first question would be 3952+3952 =7903
I don't really get what you are asking for. Can you clarify it?
