Answer:

119/100 = 357/X

Step-by-step explanation:

since 357 is the price with the extra 19% tax, you can put 119 and 357 as numerators in a fraction because thats the price % of total cost with the tax, then have the denominators as the normal price without tax. so 119/100 bc 119 is the total cost % with tax, and 100 as the normal cost %. same for the opposite side, 357/X. 357 being the price with the tax and X being the price without the tax. so you just cross multiply to find X. so 100 × 357 (35,700) then divide the answer of that by 119 (35,700/119) to find X (300)

Simplify the expression to a polynomial in standard form.<br> (x-2)(x2 +7x +4)
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x  - 2)(x² + 7x + 4) = x(x² + 7x + 4) - 2*(x² + 7x + 4)

                              = x*x² + x*7x + 4*x  - 2*x² -2* 7x -2* 4

                               = x³ + 7x² + 4x - 2x²  -14x -8

                                = x³ + <u>7x² - 2x²</u>    <u>+  4x - 14x</u> - 8

                                = x³ + 5x² - 10x - 8
