The Robinson and Barrett Oil Company wants to build a distribution center along an established, straight pipeline that runs near three cities as shown below. To minimize the cost, the distribution center should be located so that the total length of pipe running from the distribution center to the three cities is as small as possible. Where should the distribution center be located?

i would have to say it is c.

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).
