Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:

a) 4x² - 14x + 17

b) -5x² - 20x + 8

<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>

Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.

Item a:

4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)

Applying the distributive property:

4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25

4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25

Combining the like terms:

4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25

4x² - 14x + 17

Item b:

-5(x + 2)² + 28

-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28

-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28

-5x² - 20x + 8

Find the ordered pair whose x-coordinate is 5. 4x=6y+8
sukhopar [10]

(6, 2 )

substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y

6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = \frac{12}{6} = 2

the ordered pair is (5, 2 )

What is 3 + -5= and is it a positive or negative number and how?
Natalka [10]
It is -2.  This is negative.  For instance, if you had 3 candies and your mother took away 5, you would not only have 0 candies, but you would owe your mother 2.  This is expressed as a negative number.  Please mark Brainliest!!!
