You can use the quadratic formula with it which will be easier
or simple factoring
it will be (5x-11)(7x+4)
C is the correct answer the graph is a straight line
He paid ...
-- The cost of the lunches (100% = 1.00 of it)
-- 15% of the cost as a tip (15% = 0.15 of it)
-- 12% of the cost as sales tax (12% = 0.12 of it)
Total that he paid = (1.00 + 0.15 + 0.12) = 1.27 of $248.40
= $315.47 .

This question can be solved by using the property
a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)
Here a=A
b=C
plugging in the values
A^2-C^2=(A-C)(A+C)
Hope this helps
