F you just want to see the really short way, just skip down to AAAAAAAAAAAA
so, here is the long explanation
exponential properties

don't forget pemdas
2x^2=2(x^2)
so

=

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
so we see
the original equatio is

remember

so we can seperate the constants

we know that the placeholders cannot affet the position of the constants unless they are grouped together which they are not
terfor the answer must have 2/3 in it
the only one that hsa that is A
ANSWER IS A
It’s 212.00 why does it have to be 20 words ugh
Let's call the two numbers a and b. So we know that the difference of the two numbers is 36:
a - b = 36
And we know that their sum is 286:
a + b = 286
We can use either of these equations to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other variable. Let's use the first and solve for a:
a - b = 36
a = 36 + b
Now we plug this into the other equation and solve for b there:
(36 + b) + b = 286
36 + 2b = 286
2b = 250
b = 125
Answer:
158ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Break it up!
Find the area of the three smaller shapes and add them together!
12+18+128= 158
