Step-by-step explanation:
3 - 2(b - 2) = 2 - 7b
To solve this first distribute -2 to (b - 2)
3 + (-2b + (-2) x -2) = 2 - 7b
when we simplify this it becomes:
3 + (-2b + 4) = 2 - 7b
We take (-2b + 4) out of the parenthesis:
3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b
Now simplify again.
7 - 2b = 2 - 7b
Now send all the b's to one side and constants on the other.
7 - 2 = -7b +2b
5 = 5b
b = 1
Answer:
B. 3x² – 10x + 13
Step-by-step explanation:
given:
f(x) = 3x² – 8x + 5
g(x) = 2x – 8
f(x) - g(x)
= (3x² – 8x + 5) - (2x – 8)
= 3x² – 8x + 5 - 2x + 8
= 3x² – 10x + 13
