We have

so this is indeed a difference of squares. Factorizing would give

making the answer D.
We can further factor the first term here and write

but that's clearly out of the scope of this question.
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180
2x - 12 + 2x + 17 + 9x - 7 = 180 add like terms
13x - 2 = 180 add 2 to both sides
13x = 182 divide both side by 13
x = 14
m<X = 2x + 17 replace x with 14
2*14 + 17 = 45
2(3)(2) + 2(4)(3) + 2(4)(2)
2(6) + 2(12) + 2(8)
12 + 24 + 16
52
Hope this helps!
You do 9x27=243 then take 2x31=62 add 243+62=305 then take 305 and subtract it from 28 305-28=277
so if i did it right you should get n=277

4 and a half hour repairs 6% of the entire boat so it is
4 1/2 multiplied by 6/100's inverse number
