Question

Which choice answer is it?

Answer 1

Your answer would be option (1) -3x² - 18x + 19.

To find this we need to substitute in the G and F expressions into G - 3F and see what the outcome is, as this will give us the answer.

First I’m going to multiply the F expression, 2x² + 6x - 5, by 3:

3 × (2x² + 6x - 5) = 3(2x²) + 3(6x) - 3(5) = 6x² + 18x - 15.

Now we need to subtract this expression from G, which is 3x² + 4, which I will do by term:

3x² - 6x² = -3x²

0x - 18x = -18x

4 - -15 = 19

So therefore overall your answer is -3x² - 18x + 19.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
