Expand the square: 4(x-11)^ =25
4(x-11)(x-11)=25
Distribute : 4(x-11)(x-11)=25
4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25
Distribute: 4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25
4(x^-11x-11(x-11))=25
Solution: x=17/2
x=27/2

The correct equation that models for this problem is x over y or x/y.
Let the following values be:
x - would be the money or commissions that Duncan earned.
y - would be the 20 percent that he gives his assistant
