=(D-64)2

We move all terms to the left:

-((D-64)2)=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -((D-64)2), so:

(D-64)2

We multiply parentheses

2D-128

Back to the equation:

-(2D-128)

We get rid of parentheses

-2D+128=0

We move all terms containing D to the left, all other terms to the right

-2D=-128

D=-128/-2

D=+64

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
