Looking at the problem, what we must do to complete this question is to completely factor the expression that was provided. The expression that was provided is 
.
The first step that we must do is to take a look at the expression and see what the two pieces of the expression have in common. We can see that both 
and 
have the number 5 and the variable c associated with them so we can factor out those two.
<u>Factor out 5c</u>
Now we have completely factored out the expression that was provided in the problem statement and we came to final answer of 
.
Total Area = Lateral Area + Area of the Ends
Total Area = Height * Width * Number of Sides + Area of the 2 ends
Is that x squared? Cause if so then the answer would be f= 5
The given equations are
12x + 4y = 152 ...........1
32x + 12y = 420 .....2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 to make coefficient of y same we have:
36x+12y= 456
32x+12y=420
Subtracting the two equations we have:
4x=36.
Dividing by 4 both sides
x= 9.
Substituting x value in equation 1
12(9) + 4y = 152
108+4y=152
Subtracting 108 both sides: 4y=44.
Dividing both sides by 4.
y=11.
cost of the vegetarian lunch is $11.
In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch.
