The above expression is not in its simplest form, and we need to simplify it, that is what asked in the question.
Given equation,

First of all, let's open the parentheses to combine the like terms for simplifying.

Arranging the like terms, x² with x², x with x and constant terms near to each other.

Simplying further,


So, the correct option is C

Area of polygon = 1/2 pa. So it would be 0.5 x 6 x 3. The fire the area is 9
The city contributed $13,500; the county contributed $27,000; and the state contributed $54,000.
Let x be the amount the city contributes. Since the county contributes twice as much as the city, the county's amount is 2x. Since the state contributes twice as much as the county, the state's amount is 2(2x) = 4x.
They total 94,500:
x+2x+4x = 94500
7x = 94500
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 13500
2x = 27000
4x = 54000
Simply divide 23 and 2/5 bags of apples between 9 friends:
23 and 2/5 bags ÷ 9 friends= 117/5 bags ÷ 9 friends
= 13/5 bags
= 2 and 3/5 bags
Therefore, each friend receives 2 and 3/5 bags of apples.
Hope this helps!
