I think it's equal
____________
160/140 = x/56
cross multiply
(140)(x) = (160)(56)
140x = 8960
x = 8960/140
x = 64 lbs <== Vince's weight on the other planet
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
