Answer:
6x³ - 4x² - 8x - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute the 2x
6x³ + 8x² + 8x
Step 2: Distribute the -4
-12x² - 16x - 16
Step 3: Combine the 2 distributions
6x³ + 8x² + 8x - 12x² - 16x - 16
Step 4: Combine like terms
6x³
8x² - 12x² = -4x²
8x - 16x = -8x
-16
Step 5: Rewrite
6x³ - 4x² - 8x - 16
Answer:
-3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify. combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables).
Subtract -2x and x: -2x - x = -3x
-3x + 8 is your answer.

Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation correctly represents the total cost of the food that the friends ended up paying for the popcorn and sodas. In this expression, the cost of each individual soda is represented by the variable x which is multiplied by 4 since each one of the four friend's purchased their own soda. After making this multiplication process that product is added to the initial $12 that they all spent together on the popcorn.
