Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x + 7) - 2 (x + 5)
need to distibute
5x+10-2x+3
combine like terms
3x+13
divide
x=4.3
to do it in mental math: you can ignore the zeroes in 400 for now.
4*14 = 4*10 + 4*4 = 40 + 16 = 56
now add the zeroes back on: 5600m
Sum of polynomials are always polynomials.
Note that despite it's name, single constants, monomials, binomials, trinomials, and expressions with more than three terms are all polynomials.
For example,
0, π sqrt(2)x, 4x+2, x^2+3x+4, x^2-x^2, x^5+x/ π -1
are all polynomials.
What makes an expression NOT a polynomial?
Expressions that contain non-integer or negative powers of variables, rational functions, infinite series.
For example,
sqrt(x+1), 1/x+4, 1+x+ x^2/2!+x^3/3!+x^4/4!+...., (5x+3)/(6x+7)
are NOT polynomials.
2/4 this is a half also known as 1/2 Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
