Keep in mind that whenever you have a variable inside an expression, you have to think of it as a placeholder, hiding a certain value which we haven't specified yet.
Expressions with variables are a mean to express the generic idea underneath the expression, rather than its particular value.
So, an expression like x-7 represents the idea of subtracting 7 from a particular number. Once you give a specific value to x, the expression will become an actual subtraction between numbers, and you will be able to compute its value.
So, we have several values for x, which are several ways to turn our "abstract" subtraction into an actual, computable subtraction.

Answer: x · (6 + 8 · x²) = x(6 + 8x²)
Answer:
7x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2 + 2x - 10
Rearrange terms:
5x + 2x - 10 + 2
Combine like terms (add 2x and 5x):
= 7x - 10 + 2
Combine like terms (add -10 and 2):
= 7x - 8 (This is the simplified form).
Hello there friendo.
I believe the correct answer to your question would be (2*6) - (36/12).
I hope this can help you! :)
