What is the product of 2x - 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7? Write your answer in standard form.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

(2x - 5 ) (3x^2 + 5x - 7) = 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x - 35

The product of 2x – 5 and 3x2 + 5x - 7equal to the product of 5x - 2 and 3x2 + 5x - 7 are not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Product means multiplication

Product of 2x - 5 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7

(2x - 5 ) (3x^2 + 5x - 7)

= 6x^3 + 10x^2 - 14x - 15x^2 - 25x - 35

Collect like terms

= 6x^3 + 10x^2 - 15x^2 - 14x - 25x - 35

= 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 39x - 35

Product of 5x - 2 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7

(5x - 2) (3x^2 + 5x - 7)

= 15x^3 + 25x^2 - 35x - 6x^2 - 10x + 14

Collect like terms

= 15x^3 + 25x^2 - 6x^2 - 35x - 10x + 14

= 15x^3 + 19x^2 - 45x + 14

The product of 2x – 5 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7equal to the product of 5x - 2 and 3x^2 + 5x - 7 are not equal.

They both consist of different variables in their multiplier

Can someone help me with this math problem asap??<br> please answer correctly or I'll report it!
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A.

We can see that the rectangles are congruent meaning they can be mapped onto one another perfectly and therefore 13 and t make up a rectangle the same size and shape as the second one. This means that 13+t will add to 17 since the rectangle they make up is congruent to the second one
