The phrasing of the question implies there are multiple choices. Is this true?
Answer:
2. 2x² + 7x - 13
Step-by-step explanation:
3[x² - 1] - [x² - 7x + 10]
3x² - 3 - x² + 7x - 10
2x² - 13 + 7x
The above answer is a bit written in reverse, which is the exact same result.
So, after performing the Distributive Property, from there, you can combine all like-terms, as done above.
** Now, just in case you are wondering why that -7 has been altered to its opposite, it is because although -7x does not have another like-term to pair up with, IT IS STILL HOOKED UP TO ANOTHER NEGATIVE, so that -7x is REALLY 7x.
