Answer= x²+7x+10
When we want to expand expressions such as this, the FOIL method helps us remember what exactly to do. FOIL stands for
F:First
O:Outer
I:Inner
L:Last
So, given the expression (x+5)(x+2), lets multiply the first two terms.
x*x=x²
now the outer two terms
x*2=2x
now the inner terms
5*x=5x
and the last terms...
5*2=10
When we combine these expressions we get:
x²+7x+10
I think this is what you meant to be answered in your question, if I have been mistaken, just comment and I'll edit my answer....
Furthest from 0, so I am going to take the absolute value of these numbers. The absolute value will tell us how far away from 0 these numbers are.
|-1/2| = |- 0.5| = 0.5
|8/9| = |0.88| = 0.88
|0.2| = 0.2
so the number furthest from 0 is 8/9
As for this problem, the answer would most probably be and most likely be C. The piles of bones foreshadow Fortunato's fate.
In the first option, symbolizing wasn't used in present tense but a simple mixing of present and past tense. The more appropriate form of the sentence would be "The catacombs was dark and cold which symbolized death." This would be a lot more understandable and it will not create confusion to the readers because of the inconsistency of the usage of tenses. The second option and the last option would be both in past tenses. The correct one is used in plural present form.
Answer/explanation
4(3x+5)=-4
You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,
12x+20=-4
Then you will combine like terms
12x+20=-4
-20 -20
12x=-24
Then you will divide 12 to isolate x
Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2
