I believe your answer is:
The expressions given are not equivalent.

Here’s why:
- We can check if the expressions are equivalent by simplifying one of them.

- You can also say that they are not equivalent because it was not completely distributed.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
To do this multiply 72 by 0.19. This will give you 13.68.
Try this solution:
There are several ways to find the max or min of the given function:
1. to use derivative of the function. For more details see the attachment (3 basic steps); the coordinates of max-point are marked with green (-5; 14.5)
2. to use formulas. The given function is the standart function with common equation y=ax²+bx+c, it means the correspond formulas are (where a<0, the vertex of this function is its maximum):
Finally: point (-5;14.5) - maximum of the given function.
3. to draw a graph.
1) 2 * (10 * 7 + 7 * 1,25 + 10 * 1,25) = 2 * (70 + 8,75 + 12,5) = 2 * 91,25 = 182,5 square inches - a surface area
2) 182,5 * 0,012 = <span>$</span>2,19 - answer.
