The simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C)
.First we must simplify the expression:

Then we factor the rational parts and cancel it out:

Then we rationalize the expression:

<span>Finally, the simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C)

.</span>
6x - 7 = 19
<span>6x = 19 + 7 </span>
<span>6x = 26 (divide both sides by 6 to get x) </span>
<span>6x/6 = 26/6 </span>
<span>x = 4.33333333333 </span>
Subtract 15 from the depth:
200-15 = 185
Subtract 20 from the width ( 10 from both sides)
250-20 = 230
Area to build on: 185 x 230 = 42,550 square feet.
