Answer:
-x³ + 3x² - 14x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of outer rectangle = (x² + 3x - 4) * (2x - 3)
= (x² + 3x - 4) * 2x + (x² + 3x - 4) * (-3)
=x²*2x + 3x *2x - 4*2x + x² *(-3) + 3x *(-3) - 4*(-3)
=2x³ + 6x² - 8x - 3x² - 9x + 12
= 2x³ + <u>6x² - 3x²</u> <u>- 8x - 9x</u> + 12 {Combine like terms}
= 2x³ + 3x² - 17x + 12
Area of inner rectangle = (x² - 1)* 3x
= x² *3x - 1*3x
= 3x³ - 3x
Area of shaded region = area of outer rectangle - area of inner rectangle
= 2x³ + 3x² - 17x + 12 - (3x³ - 3x)
= 2x³ + 3x² - 17x + 12 -3x³ + 3x
= 2x³ - 3x³ + 3x² - 17x + 3x + 12
= -x³ + 3x² - 14x + 12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

m - slope
We have the slope
and the point
.
Substitute:

- point-slope form
Convert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
<em> use the distributive property</em>
<em>add 4 to both sides</em>
- slope-intercept form
24 miles = 326 gallons
divide each side by 24: 1 mile = 13.583 gallons
round: 13.6 miles per gallon
