Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:
G
Step-by-step explanation:
Set-up a proportion with equal ratios.
Solve for x by cross multiplying.
3*106 = 50*x
318 = 50x
6.36 = x
Answer:
8 dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
If there were 6 cats, there would be 4 dogs. Since there is double that amount of cats, then we just double the amount of dogs from 4 to 8, our final answer.
I would appreciate Brainliest but no worries.
Air? Unless you mean like a toy boat? IDK, I do know that huge ships like the Titanic are able to float because they have trapped oxygen. Think about if you're swimming; often when you hold your breath you float a bit better than if you were heavily breathing. Sorry i know its not alot to go off of, did i help you a little?
