Each is 7 long and the whole piece is 56 so we can make 8 down the length and each is 1 wide and the whole things is 3 so that makes 3 across. we multiply these to get 8*3= 24
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
= (x^3 -2x+6) - (2x^3+3x^2-4x+2)
= x^3 -2x +6 -2x^3 -3x^2 +4x -2 . . . . distribute the negative sign
= (1-2)x^3 -3x^2 +(-2+4)x +(6-2) . . . . . combine like terms
(f-g)(x) = -x^3 -3x^2 +2x +4
Subtract the amount used from the total packets:
5000 - 1824 = 3176 left after the first week.
3176 - 2352 = 824 total packets left.
The answer is -6
(9-15)=-6
(-8+2)=-6
(24-30)=-6
-(-6)+(-6)-(-6)= -6
