I'm assuming this is x^2 + 3x - 4 and x(x^2 + 3x - 2)
1.) First distribute x(x^2 + 3x - 2) to get x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x.
2.) Because you are subtracting all the terms from x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x, it's the same thing as distributing -1 to x^2 + 3x - 4 and then adding it to x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x.
3.) -1(x^2 + 3x - 4) = -x^2 - 3x + 4
4.) Add (x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x) + (-x^2 - 3x + 4)
5.) x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 4 is your final answer.
Answer:
The Rockets' team has the better record.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The Blazers hockey team has played 12 games but they won only 7 out of the 12 games, so that means that they loss the other 5 games. So that makes the Blazers record 7 wins and 5 losses.
- The Rockets' team has played 8 games but they won only 5 out of the 8 games, so that means that they loss the other 3 games. So that makes the Rockets' record 5 wins and 3 losses.
- So, the Rockets' team has the better record because they loss less games than the Blazers team did.
