12x + 24y < = 240
** because 2 hrs and 120 minutes = 240 minutes
X + x + 24 = 58
x = (58-24)/2=17
the first number is 17 and the second number is the sum of 17 and 28. Finding it has been left as an exercise for the reader.
The answer is the first one.
Explanation:
X^3 stays the same because there are no other cubed numbers in the problem
Next you combine the x^2s
The x^2s are +3x^2 and +2x^2
Since they are both positive, you add them: 3x^2 + 2x^2 = 5x^2
Next you do the x values
-x and +6x, also known as 6x - x = 5x
Lastly, you just add in the -2 and get:
X^3 + 5x^2 + 5x - 2
