First, take a look at 3 less than twice x. Twice x would be 2x and 3 less than it would become 2x-3.
Next, 2 more than the quantity 3 times x. The quantity of 3 times x is 3x and 2 more than that would be 3x+2.
Now that we have our two equations, we need to multiply them together, which can be shown as (2x-3)(3x+2).
Then, multiply the two equations together using FOIL (multiply the first two terms, then the outside terms, then inside, and lastly, the last two terms): 2x times 3x, 2x times 2, -3x times 3x, and 2 times -3, which equates to 6x^2+4x-9x-6.
Your final answer is 6x^2-5x-6.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
any number to the power 0 is equal to 1
The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.
Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .
BUT ...
That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.
For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A). Either way, you wind up with (A and B).
So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.
46% printers are defective = 106 printers defective
Answer:
2 and -9
Step-by-step explanation:
2 times -9 is -18
2 plus -9 is -7
