Since a polynomial is where we have like terms such as (1 x 10²) and (4 x 10²), we can add these up using the distributive property to get (5 x 10²) but still keep the 10². For example, it's similar to if we had 2x²+3x²=5x². The x² is still there, but we add up the 2 and 3. Similarly, we can add these up for 10^1 and 10^0
-2x(4x² - 5x + 3) Distribute/multiply -2x into (4x² - 5x + 3)
(4x²)(-2x) - (5x)(-2x) + (3)(-2x)
-8x³ + 10x² - 6x
Your answer is the 3rd option
y = 8 -2x
x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1
x + 16 - 4x = 1
x - 4x = -15
-3x = -15
x = 5
If x = 5, then we can substitute in...
5 + 2y = 1
2y = -4
y = -2
Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation
2x + y = 8
2 (5) + (-2) = 8
That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/
Answer: $156.86
Step by Step:
136.40 x .15 = 20.46
136.40 + 20.46 = 156.86
