The previous answer from another person got deleted, so I'm here to put it back in my own words.
(Edit: The answer is A)
First of all, you can take 4 out of each, so simplify everything by 4.
4(x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2)
Next, you can see that you're able to take out x^2
4x^2(x^2 - 6x + 9)
You can see that both x^2 and 9 are perfect squares, meaning you can crunch them together like this
(x+3)^2 or (x-3)^2
Of course, only one would work, and as fate has it, (x-3)^ produces x^2 - 6x + 9
This would turn the now factored equation into :
4x^2(x-3)^2 or 4x^2(x-3)(x-3), this means the answer is A

Answer:
15 + 2.05 x = 2.35 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of gallons you would have to buy for the two places to be the same.
At the club, there is a monthly fee of $15 that is charged once in a month. They also charge $2.05 per gallon, which is charged every gallon of gas you buy.
We can write an expression: 15 + 2.05 x
At the gas station, they charge $2.35 per gallon with no other fees.
We can also write an expression: 2.35 x
For the prices to be the same, we have 15 + 2.05 x = 2.35 x
If we were to solve, then we have:
(2.35 - 2.05) x = 15
x = 15 / 0.3 = 50 gallons
