First you subtract 8 from 26, which is 18. Then you divide 18 by 6, which is 3. x equals 3.
Answer: Option 1
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Option 1 has a greater area than option 2.
3(x-1)^2 +2
This is your answer in vertex form, your h and k values are the vertex. Solving the function by using b/2a, we get that h is 1. ( in the equation 3 is your a, 6 is b and 5 is c.). ( 6/2(3)) = 1. We can then plug in 1 as x into the original equation and get positive 2 ( 3(1)^2 -6(1) +5) = 3-6+5 = 2. This is your vertex. In the function, your a value will always stay the same as this is your shrink or stretch. In this case, a is 3 so it will go outside the parenthesis. Put that all together and you get the function above.
Hope this helps :)
B = 3
3 to the second power is 9, and 4 • 9 = 36.
Let price of one scarf be $x
Price of the other is 3 more than $x
Therefore price of the other scarf =$x +3
The total price she paid = $25.00
That is, x+x+3=25
2x+3=25
2x=25-3
2x=22
x=22/2
x=11
The price of one scarf is $11 and the price of the other is 11+3=$14
The price of the expensive scarf =$14.
