7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 270.9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use here is :

$\text{Distance=Speed * Number of gallons of gasoline}$

Given : Ashton used 12.6 gallons of gasoline to drive his car on a weekend trip. he averaged 21.5 miles per gallon.

Then $\text{Distance traveled }=12.6\times21.5=270.9\text{ miles}$

Hence, he traveled 270.9 miles.

Consider the polynomial below.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

(-4x - 2)(-5x) + (-4x - 2)(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your polynomial is

(-4x - 2)(-5x + 3)

The distributive property states that

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Let a = -4x - 2. Then

(-4x - 2)(-5x + 3) = a(5x + 3) = a(-5x) + a(3)

Substitute the value of a.

a(-5x) + a(3) = (-4x - 2)(-5x) + (-4x - 2)(3)

You have just distributed the first binomial (-4x - 2) among the terms of the second binomial.
