The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
(x - 3)(4x + 2) = (x)(4x + 2) + (-3)(4x + 2)
= (x)(4x) + (x)(2) + (-3)(4x) + (-3)(2) = 4x² + 2x - 12x - 6
<h3>= 4x² - 10x - 6</h3>
5x + 4y = 32 ⇒ 45x + 36y = 288
9x - 1y = 33 ⇒ <u>45x - 5y = 165</u>
<u>41y</u> = <u>123</u>
41 41
y = 3
5x + 4(3) = 32
5x + 12 = 32
<u> - 12 - 12</u>
<u>5x</u> = <u>20</u>
5 5
x = 4
(x, y) = (4, 3)

Answer:
7x^3 +11x^2 -5x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms.
(4x^3+6x^2+2x^2-3) + (3x^3+3x^2-5x-5)
= (4 +3)x^3 +(6 +2 +3)x^2 +(-5)x + (-3 -5)
= 7x^3 +11x^2 -5x -8
_____
Noting that the first expression contains two x^2 terms, we wonder if you actually want the sum ...
(4x^3+6x^2+2x-3) + (3x^3+3x^2-5x-5)
= (4 +3)x^3 +(6 +3)x^2 +(2 -5)x +(-3 -5)
= 7x^3 +9x^2 -3x -8
