Tile is to be placed in an entryway, as shown below. At $6.25 per square foot, how much does it cost to tile the entryway?

Calculate the area by using 2 rectangles:

13 x 5 = 65 square feet

5 x 4 = 20 square feet

Total area = 65 + 20 = 80 square feet.

Multiply price per square foot by total area:

6.25 x 80 = 500

Cost = $500

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
