Foil or whatever
just multiply

remember
(a-b)(c+d)=ac-bc+ad-bd
and
$(ax^m)(bx^n)=(a)(x^m)(b)(x^n)=abx^{m+n}$

so

(3x-2)(2x²+5)=
(3x)(2x²)+(-2)(2x²)+(3x)(5)+(-2)(5)=
6x³-4x²+15x-10

3x*2x^2=6x^3
3x*5=15x
-2*2x^2=-4x^2
-2*5=-10
6x^3+15x-4x^2-10=
6x^3-4x^2+15x-10

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

cestrela7 [59]

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

Explanation

Suppose, $x$ gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be: $(35-x)$ gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the distance traveled by the first car in $x$ gallons of gas $=35x$ miles and the distance traveled by the second car in $(35-x)$ gallons of gas $=15(35-x)$ miles.
