Answer:
8x^2 - 2xy + 3y^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the FOIL method
8x^2 + 4xy - 6xy + 3y^2
8x^2 - 2xy + 3y^2
(x+6)(x+6) is the equation to find the area of the second square
Alright,
you will need to solve for each variable to find if they got the equation correctly or not..
Let's start with h
isolate h
(1/2)h = A/(b1+b2)
Now we need to get rid of 1/2 we may do so by multiplying both sides by 2
h = 2(A/(b1+b2))
And that's not how they did it for h so Option D doesn't apply
Let's see C
Also doesn't apply since they multiplied 2 only by A rather than A/h
Let's see B
Also not correct they made the same mistake as with option C
Let's see A
again same mistake
when multiplying both sides by 2
the 2 should be as following

I believe you should contact your instructor and explain that non of the options is right.
Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do.
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?
In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.
First apply the exponent: 3 ^ 2
9
Then we do the multiplication: 4 * 9 = 36
Finally we add
8 + 36 = 44
