To find the answer, take the measurement of an edge of the cube, multiply it by 6, and then square that number.
Ex:
Edge = 16
Faces in 1 cube = 6
6 * 16 = 96
96^2 (which is just 96 * 96)= 9,216
I hope this helps! :)
There are two ways to work this out: normal variables or using "imaginary" numbers.
Normal variables:
![(7+2i)(3-i)\\(7*3)+[7*(-i)]+(3*2i)+[2i*(-i)]\\21-7i+6i-2i^{2}\\\\21-i-2i^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%287%2B2i%29%283-i%29%5C%5C%287%2A3%29%2B%5B7%2A%28-i%29%5D%2B%283%2A2i%29%2B%5B2i%2A%28-i%29%5D%5C%5C21-7i%2B6i-2i%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C21-i-2i%5E%7B2%7D)
Imaginary numbers:
Using the result from earlier:

Now since

, then the expression becomes:
6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 27
24x - 3x = 27 - 30
21x = - 3
x = -3/21
x = - 0.143 <==
Yea I wanna say you have the right answer
A is the answer because it costs $295 for the ticket and $271.9 in total if he drives in car. So therefore driving is less expensive.
