The answer is 8. Hope it helps!
Sorry this is a little late, but the answers are $350 per month, $1000 per year, and $20.75 per ride.
Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula,
a² − b² = (a + b) (a − b) where a = 5(x + 5/4) and b = 4 (x (7/4) ).
− (12x + 25/4) (2x + −25/4)
ANSWER: $84
EXPLANATION:
We need to know the surface area of the room with the specified dimensions.
A = 2(wl + hl + hw)
w = 12
h = 8
l = 16
A = 2( (12 * 16) + (8 * 16) + (12 * 8) )
A = 2(192 + 128 + 96)
A = 2(416)
A = 832 square feet
832 / 150 = 5.546666666666667
(Round that up to the next whole number)
You need 6 gallons, or 6(14) dollars
