You want to make sure to factor each equation as much as you can first.
So just focus on the numerator first.

To factor the numerator:

factor out an x

factor out the rest completely.
Now for the denominator:


factor out a -4

factor out the rest.
This leaves you with:

Then you can simplify:

I'm not sure what you're supposed to find exactly, so if you need more help you can ask me (:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A]
Both have the same surface area. The numbers are just rearranged.
B]
Is the correct answer.
The surface area of the first one is 2*8*5 + 2*8*6 + 2*5*6 = 236
The surface area of the second is 2*10*8 + 2*10*3 + 2*8*3 = 244
C]
Another rearrangement. Not the answer.
D]
A=AB*DE=(8+4)*7=12*7=84 m^2
A=84 m^2
The plane would be 100 feet long. if the scale is 1/100 and the model is 1 ft you would take 1 x 100 to get 100 feet.
Answer:
There is no slope ( Undefined)
