Is it a multiple choice question?
If you would like to write a * b + c in simplest form, you can do this using the following steps:
a = x + 1
b = x^2 + 2x - 1
c = 2x
a * b + c = (x + 1) * (x^2 + 2x - 1) + 2x = x^3 + 2x^2 - x + x^2 + 2x - 1 + 2x = x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x - 1
The correct result would be x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x - 1.
The standard equation of a circle is:

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.
We need to make an equation of a circle, whose center is (11,-5) with any radius. Therefore, substitute the value.

The bolded part is your answer. Since the radius is not given, we can put any value.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply through by x+5
2(x + 1) = x + 5 - 1 Combine like terms
2x + 2 = x + 4 Subtract 2 from both sides.
2x = x + 4 - 2
2x = x + 2 Subtract x from both sides.
2x - x = 2 Combine
x = 2
B
