We have

so this is indeed a difference of squares. Factorizing would give

making the answer D.
We can further factor the first term here and write

but that's clearly out of the scope of this question.
Answer:
41.86 miles each hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Kelli and her family went to the beach for a vacation. They drove 293 miles in 7 hours to get there. ABOUT how many miles did they drive each hour?
This Question is calculated as:
7 hours = 293 miles
1 hour = x miles
Cross Multiply
7 hours × x = 1 × 293 miles
x = 293 miles/7 hours
x = 41.857142857 miles per hour
x ≈ 41.86 miles per hour
Hence, they drove 41.86 miles each hour
