Step-by-step explanation:
what was the question? <3
<span>Simplifying
4x2 + 8xy + 4y2
Reorder the terms:
8xy + 4x2 + 4y2
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '4'.
4(2xy + x2 + y2)
Factor a trinomial.
4((x + y)(x + y))
Final result:
4(x + y)(x + y)</span>
Answer:
$95.89875
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the necklace is 119.5. And we are subtracting 25% from this. 119.5 - 25% = 119.5 - 1/4 since 25% is 25/100 which is also 1/4.
So without tax, the price of the necklace is 119.5 - 29.875 which is 89.625.
The tax is 7%. So we should add 89.625 to 7%. This is complicated, but it should result in 95.89875.
If we round this to the nearest cent, it should be <em>$95.9</em>.
