Hello
So the question ask to simplify the said equation. In getting its answer base on that equation you must first factor out each of them then find out the common of them to cancel them out that could lead you to your answer. In my calculation, the answer is D. 8 open parentheses x plus 4 close parentheses over quantity x minus 6. I hope this would help you
Have a nice day
Can you give more information?

Answer: <u>
100 ft</u>
is the hypotenuse</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
a = 60 and b = 80 are the two known sides
c is the unknown hypotenuse
Applying the pythagorean theorem gets us...
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
60^2 + 80^2 = c^2
3600 + 6400 = c^2
10,000 = c^2
c^2 = 10,000
c = sqrt(10,000)
c = 100
A quick way to see that 100 ft is the missing side is to note that a 6,8,10 right triangle scales up to 60,80,100 after multiplying all three sides by 10.
Or you could start with a 3,4,5 right triangle and multiply all three sides by 20.
To solve the question, use the equation y=mx+b. Since you already know the slope (m), all you need is to find the b. Plug in the x and y from the point (9,2) and m:
2=3(9)+b
2=27+b (subtract 27 on both sides)
b=-25
The equation is y=3x-25
