The first equation is

The second equation is

If you sum the two equations you'll cancel y:

And since the sum must be 11, we have y=9.
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and

, then we can write it as

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use

as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
Answer:
D) 1188 in.^2
Step-by-step explanation:
33×36 is 1188, the triangle on the side doesn't matter because it can be used to make the rectangle a whole rectangle, which means that the only important numbers are 33 and 36 multiplied to find the area, which is 1188^2.
24 inches. You could simply multiply by 2. Do you want another solution?
