The answer is A (a mountain climber descending a mountain.
This sis the answer because it is the only option with a decrease. When something decreases, a negative value (a number) represents the amount it decreased.
Happy to help!
To solve/simplify this all you have to do is group like terms (the x^2's with each other, the x's with each other, and the normal numbers, -8)
14x^2-8+5x-6x^2+2x
group the x^2 (add 14x^2 to -6x^2)
8x^2-8+5x+2x
group the x's together (add 5x and 2x together)
8x^2+7x-8
Your answer will be d) 8x^2+7x-8
Answer: What is the question?
Total height of lumber, H = 10 1/2 feet = 21/2 feet .
Height of side panel, h = 5 2/3 feet = 17/3 feet .
Now,
Extra lumber required, L = 2 × Height of side panel - Total height of lumber
![L=[2\times (\dfrac{17}{3})]-\dfrac{21}{2}\\\\L = \dfrac{5}{6}\ feet](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=L%3D%5B2%5Ctimes%20%28%5Cdfrac%7B17%7D%7B3%7D%29%5D-%5Cdfrac%7B21%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CL%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%5C%20feet)
Therefore, extra lumber required is 
feet.
Hence, this is the required solution.
6^3 = 216. When using chance, take the number of outcomes(six for a die) and raise it to the power of the number of repetitions
