Answer:

2. 2x² + 7x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

3[x² - 1] - [x² - 7x + 10]

3x² - 3 - x² + 7x - 10

2x² - 13 + 7x

The above answer is a bit written in reverse, which is the exact same result.

So, after performing the Distributive Property, from there, you can combine all like-terms, as done above.

** Now, just in case you are wondering why that -7 has been altered to its opposite, it is because although -7x does not have another like-term to pair up with, IT IS STILL HOOKED UP TO ANOTHER NEGATIVE, so that -7x is REALLY 7x.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

First, sum up the total expenses for the original plan

Duque de Caxias + Campinas + Rio de Janeiro + Guarulhos = 242+185+193+120 = R$740

It is clearly over the intended budget. The average cost per itinerary is around R$200 so we will consider making a swap on either Duque de Caxias and Rio de Janeiro. Possible answers are (b) or (c)

for (b) Replace Duque de Caxias with Fortaleza, we will have

Fortaleza + Campinas + Rio de Janeiro + Guarulhos =
⇒ 201+185+193+120 = R$699 ⇒ This is exactly the budget intended for the trip

for (C) Replace Rio de Janeiro with Porto Alegre
Duque de Caxias + Campinas + Porto Alegre + Guarulhos =
⇒ 242 + 185 + 153 +120 = R$ 700 ⇒ This is over R$1

The answer is (b)
