Answer:
- x²+ 300x + 50,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial −2x² + 700x represents the budget surplus of the town of Alphaville.
Again, Betaville's surplus is represented by x² − 400x + 50,000.
{where x is the tax revenue in thousands from both towns}
Now, the expression that represents the total surplus of both towns together will be
= (−2x² + 700x) + (x² − 400x + 50,000)
= - x²+ 300x + 50,000
where x is the tax revenue in thousands from both towns. (Answer)
