A group of 6 students went bowling. Each student rented bowling shoes for $x and spent $8 on snacks. A group of 4 adults also went bowling and paid twice as much to rent bowling shoes as each student. Each adult also spent $9.50 on snacks. If both groups spent the same total amount, what was the cost for each adult to rent bowling shoes?

explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

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).
