Your answer would be c. 18,6
The correct answer is D. $246.6
(It is actually $246.597 but that is rounded to 246.6)
$189.69 x .3 = 56.907
$189.69 + $56.907 = $246.597

c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>
Part 1) Write an expression for the perimeter of the shape
we know that
The figure is composed by a larger square, a rectangle and a smaller square
1) The area of the larger square is given

so
The length and the width of the larger square is x units
2) The area of the rectangle is given

so
The length of the rectangle is x units and the width is 1 unit
3) The length and the width of the smaller square is x units
see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem
Find out the perimeter
The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.
so


Part 2) Find the perimeter for each of the given values of x.
a) For x=7 units
Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

b) For x=5.5 units
Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

b) For x=7/3 units
Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

Answer:
(2 a - 5) (2 a + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
4 a^2 - 25
4 a^2 - 25 = (2 a)^2 - 5^2:
(2 a)^2 - 5^2
Factor the difference of two squares. (2 a)^2 - 5^2 = (2 a - 5) (2 a + 5):
Answer: (2 a - 5) (2 a + 5)
This gives you three simultaneous equations:
6 = a + c
7 = 4a + c
1 = c
<u>c = 1
</u><u /><u />
If c =1,
6 = a + 1
<u>a = 5
</u><u /><u />
This doesn't work in the second equation, so the quadratic that goes through these points is not in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
Was there supposed to be a b in the equation?
