Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Howard has a scale model of the Statue of Liberty. The model is 15 inches tall. The scale of the model to the actual statue is 1 inch : 6.2 meters.

To find : Which equation can Howard use to determine x, the height in meters, of the Statue of Liberty?

step-by-step explanation:

4y - 6 + 4y^2 - 9

before simplifying this contains 4 terms

after simplifying

4y -15 + 4y^2

it contains 3 terms
