Since I just realized that you meant x^2-2x+1, let me evaluate this step by step:
x^2-2x+1
((-3)^2)-(2(-3))+1
9-(-6)+1
9+6+1
16
Therefore, that would equal 16.
The correct answer is A square root of 41
Four times a number would equal 4n
Adults = 9
Children = 2
Let x be the number of adults.
11-x is the number of children.
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22x + 165 - 15x = 228
22x - 15x = 228 - 165
7x = 63
7x / 7 = 63 / 7
x = 9 number of adults.
11 - x = 11 - 9 = 2 number of children.
To check:
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22(9) + 15(11-9) = 228
198 + 30 = 228
228 = 228
(not my answer btw)
