Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Distribute</u>

-5(x + 2) = -(-5x + 1) - x

-5x - 10 = 5x - 1 - x

<em />

<u>Step 2: Solve for x</u>

-5x - 10 + 5x = 4x - 1 + 5x

-10 + 1 = 9x - 1 + 1

-9 / 9 = 9x / 9

<em />

Answer: x = -1

What is the binomial expansion of (x 2y)7? 2x7 14x6y 42x5y2 70x4y3 70x3y4 42x2y5 14xy6 2y7 x7 14x6y 42x5y2 70x4y3 70x3y4 42x2y5

You can take x = a, 2y = b and then can apply the binomial theorem.

The expansion of given expression is given by:

Option D: $x^7 + 14x^6y + 84x^5y^2 + 280x^4y^3 + 560x^3y^4 + 672x^2y^5 + 448xy^6 + 128y^7$ is

<h3>What is binomial theorem?</h3>

It provides algebraic expansion of exponentiated(integer) binomial.

According to binomial theorem,

$(a+b)^n = \sum_{i=0}^n ^nC_i a^ib^{n-i}$

<h3>How to use binomial theorem for given expression?</h3>

Taking a = x, and b =2y, we have n = 7, thus:

$(x+2y)^7 = \: ^7C_0x^0(2y)^7 + \: ^7C_1x^1(2y)^6 + \: ^7C_2x^2(2y)^5 + \: ^7C_3x^3(2y)^4 + \:^7C_4x^4(2y)^3 + \:^7C_5x^5(2y)^2 + \:^7C_6x^6y^1 + \: ^7C_0x^7y^0\\\\
(x+2y)^7 = 128y^7 + 448xy^6 + 672x^2y^5 + 560x^3y^4 + 280x^4y^3 + 84x^5y^2 + 14x^6y + x^7\\\\
(x+2y)^7 = x^7 + 14x^6y + 84x^5y^2 + 280x^4y^3 + 560x^3y^4 + 672x^2y^5 + 448xy^6 + 128y^7$

Thus, Option D: $x^7 + 14x^6y + 84x^5y^2 + 280x^4y^3 + 560x^3y^4 + 672x^2y^5 + 448xy^6 + 128y^7$ is correct.
