Given:

To find:
The simplified expression by factoring.
Solution:
Let us factor the numerator:

31x can be written as 3x + 28x.

Take 3x common in 1st two terms and 7 common in next two terms.

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.
Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

In the same way, factorize the denominator:

8x can be written as 4x + 4x.

Take 4x common in 1st two terms and 1 common in next two terms.

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.
Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

Substitute the terms we found for numerator and denominator:

Cancel the common factors.

The simplified expression is
.
Answer:
D. |C -305,000| ≤ 80,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Such an equation will say that the difference from the average of these values is at most half of their difference.
| C -(225000+385000)/2 | ≤ (385000 -225000)/2
|C -305,000| ≤ 80,000 . . . . . matches choice D
Tess and Jack are both correct with their claims

The attached image completes the question
From the complete question, we have the following highlights
- The shape has equal side lengths
- The angles at the vertices of the shape are right angles
The above properties represent a square
A rhombus can also have the above properties when the vertices are at 90 degrees
Hence, Tess and Jack are both correct with their claims
