x^3 - 3x^2 - 18x
Using the FOIL method, I arrived at my solution!
You do the sum(40) subtracted by 8, the answer from that divided by 2 since Erin's two times younger.
40-8=32
32÷2=16
Then if you want to check it you do the opposite and get the same sum(40) so 16×2=32 and 32+8=40
Answer:
4x^2 -5x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
= 5x^2 -3x -7 -x^2 -2x +5
= (5 -1)x^2 +(-3 -2)x +(-7 +5)
= 4x^2 -5x -2
47/9+110/15=705/135+990/135=1695/135=12 15/27
