The product of something means multiplying the terms together.
(2x+3) (4x^2-5x+6)
Secondly you need to distribute the terms to each other (Think of problems like FOIL)
2x * 4x^2 + 2x(-5x) + 2x * 6 + 3 * 4x^2 + 3(-5x) + 3 * 6
Then you must take into account that some of the numbers are negative. (minus-plus rules!)
2x * 4x^2 - 2x * 5x + 2x * 6 + 3 * 4x^2 - 3 * 5x + 3 * 6
Now is the tricky part of simplifying everything.
2x * 4x^2 = 8x^3
2x * 5x = 10x^2
2x * 6 = 12x
3 * 4x^2 = 12x^2
3 * 5x = 15x
3 * 6 = 18
8x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x + 12x^2 - 15x + 18
Then you group like terms.
8x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x^2 - 3x + 18
8x^2 + 2x^2 - 3x + 18
The trickiest part of this is distributing all of the terms within the parentheses, once you've done that, it's smooth sailing!
Answer:
I believe x=6 1/2 which is 6.5 in decimal form :)
$25,000 is the answer you would take $620,000 x 0.04 (4%)= 24,800 which rounds to 25,000
ABC = 408
C + 7 = B
A + 5 = B
B - 7 + B - 5 + B = 408
3B - 12 = 408
+ 12 = +12
3B = 420
/3 = /3
B = 120
A = 115
C = 113
The answer is A = 115, Abel has $ 115
