The correct answer is -1/3.
Line a has a larger value
Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:
6(3x + 1/2)
9(2x + 1/3)
2(9x + 5) - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
6(3x + 1/2)= 18x + 3 ✅
9(2x + 1/3)= 18x + 3 ✅
4(4x + 1) -1= 16x + 3
2(9x + 5) - 7= 18x + 3 ✅
3(6x + 2) + 3= 18x + 9
