10x^2-170x is the answer I think you're looking for
use distributive property
0.5 x -10 = -5
0.5 x k = 0.5k
0.5(-10 + k) = 0.5k -5
The answer would be A. <span>The registration fee is $5.50, and the cost per download is $0.95.</span>
Solution
Let x = registration fee
y = cost/downloads
Jack
15y + x = 19.75 ; x = 19.75 - 15y
Jim
40y + x = 43.50
Thus,
40y + x = 43.50
40y + <span>19.75 - 15y = 43.50
</span>25y = 23.75
y= 0.95
for x,
<span>x = 19.75 - 15y</span>
x = 19.75 - 15( 0.95)
x= 19.75 -14.25
x = 5.5
Its not the whole problem :{
