Answer:

10x² - 11x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

(5x + 2)(2x - 3)

= 5x(2x - 3) + 2(2x - 3) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 10x² - 15x + 4x - 6 ← collect like terms

= 10x² - 11x - 6 ← in expanded form

You originally draw a design for an art contest on a 2 in. x 5 in. card. The second phase of the contest requires the drawing to

pentagon [3]

The correct answer is: 
4.2 inches.

Explanation: 
We use the size of the largest dimension of the reproduction to find the scale factor. The largest dimension of the original drawing was 5 inches.
The largest dimension of the reproduction is 11 inches.

To find the scale factor, divide: 
 $\frac{11}{5}$ =2.1.

Since the scale factor is 2.1, to find the smallest dimension of the reproduction we multiply the original by 2.1:
2*2.1=4.2 inches.
