75.25x + 3604 = 300.50x
300.50x - 75.25x = 3604
225.25x = 3604
x = 16
Both companies charged the same at 16 tons
first answer 16 tons
--------------------
300.50x = 300.50(16) = $4,808
both companies charged the same are $4,808
second answer is $4,808
Price decrease = 14.3% of $52,000 = 0.143*$52,000 = $7,436
Price of next model = $52,000-$7,436 = $44,564
Answer:
(5x² +7x -26) units²
Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region
= Area of larger rectangle -area of smaller rectangle
Area of larger rectangle
= (3x -4)(2x +2)
= 3x(2x) +3x(2) -4(2x) -4(2) <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em>)</em>
= 6x² +6x -8x -8
= 6x² -2x -8
Area of smaller rectangle
= (x -6)(x -3)
= x² -3x -6x +18 <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em>)</em>
= x² -9x +18
Area of shaded region
= 6x² -2x -8 -(x² -9x +18)
= 6x² -2x -8 -x² +9x -18
= 5x² +7x -26
Hi! :)
It sounds like you need to multiply this fraction.

*16=6
