To simplify the expression we are going to use the distributive property of multiplication: $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ .
We can infer from our problem that $a=-2x^2$ , $b=4x$ , and $c=-3$ . So lets apply the property to simplify our expression:
$-2x^2(4x-3)=(-2x^2)(4x)+(-2x^2)(-3)$
$(-2x^2)(4x)+(-2x^2)(-3)=-8x^3+6x^2$

We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>-8x3 + 6x2</span>

Deffense [45]

Answer: 6 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The teacher wants to give each student 2/3 of a slice of pizza but only has 4 slices to give.

If each student gets 2/3 out of 4 slices, the number of students receiving will be:

= Slices / proportion per slice

= 4 / 2/3

= 4 * 3/2

= 12/2

= 6 students

Answer:

Very handy question to know the answer to. I know of no place on the planet that does not have a tax of some sort.

The tax only applies when money changes hands. It does not apply to any discounts

So if you take the deal, the cost is

Cost of 2 pizzas = normal price - the discount.

Cost of 2 pizzas = 2*10.50 - 2.00

Cost of 2 pizzas = 21 - 2

Cost of 2 pizzas = 19.00 dollars.

Not you add on the sales tax. You can do this one of two ways, the long way or the short way.

Long way

Find the sales tax

Tax = % * cost

Tax = (7.5/100) * 19

Tax = 1.425 don't round yet.

Total Cost = purchase + tax

Total Cost = 19.00 + 1.425 = 20.425 Now round. This is a real problem. It depends on what you have been told to do about rounding when 5 is the last digit. I round up. So my answer would be 20.43 <<<<< Answer.

Short Way

Cost = (Price - discount)*(1 + %/100)

Cost = (21 - 2)*(1+ 7.5/100)

Cost = 19 * (1.075)

Cost = 20.425 = 20.43
