Answer:
= 21x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
= (4x + 12x) + (5x - 1)
= 4x + 12x + 5x - 1
= 16x + 5x - 1
= 21x - 1
The correct answer is

In fact, this is a trinomial of the form

, whose solutions are given by

Using this formula for the trinomial of the problem, we find:

<span>we see that this trinomial has two coincident solutions (x=3 with multiplicity 2). This means that it can be rewritten as a perfect square, in the following form:
</span>

<span>
</span>
(50 x 2) + (40 x 2) = 180 yards x 3 = 540 feet of fence needed. 540 / 5 = 108. He will need 108 pieces of fencing
No Maria is wrong because if you look at placement value you would see 4 is in the one hundred thousands place.
