54 = 2(4x-3) + 2(x)
54 = 8x-6 + 2x
60 = 10x
6 = x
so two sides are 6 meters, and the other 2 sides are 21 meters

Simplify the expression –3(x + 3)2 – 3 + 3x. What is the simplified expression in standard form?

andrew11 [14]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

$-3 (x + 3) ^ 2-3 + 3x$

We solve the parenthesis:

$-3 (x ^ 2 + 2 (x) (3) + 3 ^ 2) -3 + 3x =\\-3 (x ^ 2 + 6x + 9) -3 + 3x =$

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

$-3x ^ 2-18x-27-3 + 3x =$

We add similar terms:

$-3x ^ 2-18x + 3x-27-3 =\\-3x ^ 2-15x-30$

Answer:

$-3x ^ 2-15x-30$

Molly: y = 25x + 25

Joseph: y = 25(4)+ 15= 100+ 15= 115

Molly: y = 25(4)+ 25= 100+25= 125
