Answer:
Solution Given:
To find the simplest form we need to open bracket
-2x²(3x²-2x-6)
-2x²*3x²-2x²*(-2x) -2x²*(-6)\
is a required answer.
So, you had done everything right so far (other than squaring the 2), but that was only half of the question.
to find the least common multiple, you need to first figure out what the prime factors have in common.

each have two twos. both have one 5, so we know our answer will look something like

now to figure out the other stuff... we have to represent the greatest amount of everything that is left, and we have 3s and 7s left over, so we need to figure out how many of each we need.
one has one 3 and one has two, so we need two threes. now our equation is

what's the only number we have to deal with? 7...
how many sevens does 60 have? 0, and 630 has 1, so we know we need one 7. our answer becomes
Answer:
A) R = 1900 -24t
B) 1684 billion barrels
C) 79.17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>A)</h3>
Reserves start at 1900 billion barrels and decrease by 24 billion barrels each year. The value for t=0 is 1900; the value for t=1 is 24 less.
R = 1900 -24t
__
<h3>B)</h3>
For t=9, the reserves will be ...
R = 1900 -24(9) = 1900 -216 = 1684 . . . . billion barrels
__
<h3>C)</h3>
The reserve will be 0 when ...
0 = 1900 -24t
24t = 1900 . . . . . add 24t
t ≈ 79.17 . . . . divide by 24
Reserves will be gone in about 79.17 years.
