Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:
(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))
3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct
(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>
3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct
(3)
3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.

OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:
(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Deisha's build rate = 1 fence per 15 hours = 1/15 fences per hour
Travis's build rate = 1 fence per 12 hours = 1/12 fences per hour
Working together, their combined rate is 1/15 + 1/12 = 3/20 fences per hour
So it takes them 20/3 = 6 2/3 hours per fence
52 quadrilaterals would have 52 ÷ 4 = a
a = your answer.
My answer is reasonable because if you have 52 sides from quadrilaterals you would need to divide by 4 to get the amount of quadrilaterals you have. Check your work by multiplying 4 x a = __ (The blank should be 52)
