You are renting a limousine that charges certain rates to visit each of the following cities. You need to visit each city once and you need to start in Athens and end in Athens. Use the "Brute Force" Algorithm to find the cheapest route to visit each city and return home again to Athens.

The cheapest route to visit each city and return home again to Athens is:

A→B→C→D→A  or A→D→C→B→A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Algorithm of Brute Force

Let Athens ⇒A , Buford ⇒B , Cuming ⇒ C , Dacula ⇒ D

There are 6 routes to visit each city and return home again to Athens.

Route 1: A→B→C→D→A = 70 + 25 + 30 + 60 = $185

Route 2: A→B→D→C→A = 70 + 70 + 30 + 50 = $220

Route 3: A→C→B→D→A = 50 + 25 + 70 + 60 = $205

Route 4: A→C→D→B→A = 50 + 30 + 70 + 70 = $220

Route 5: A→D→B→C→A = 60 + 70 + 25 + 50 = $205

Route 6: A→D→C→B→A = 60 + 30 + 25 + 70 = $185

By checking the previous routes:

The cheapest charge will be $185 and it will be for the route

A→B→C→D→A  or A→D→C→B→A.

question:

could we have options?

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
