Question

Express as a trinomial. (x - 4)(2x - 5)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{2 {x}^{2} - 13x + 20}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{(x - 4)(2x - 5)}$

Use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second binomial

⇒$\sf{x(2x - 5) - 4(2x - 5)}$

⇒$\sf{2 {x}^{2} - 5x - 8x + 20}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{2 {x}^{2} - 13x + 20}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Answer 2

Answer:

2x² - 13x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)(2x - 5)

x(2x - 5) - 4(2x - 5)

Opening the brackets gives;

2x² - 5x - 8x + 20

Simplifying this equation gives;

2x² - 13x + 20
