3
+
2
x

x
+
18
Explanation:
We have:
(
2
x
+
3
)
(
4
x
2
−
5
x
+
6
)
Now let's distribute this piece by piece:
(
2
x
)
(
4
x
2
)
=
8
x
3
(
2
x
)
(
−
5
x
)
=
−
10
x
2
(
2
x
)
(
6
)
=
12
x
(
3
)
(
4
x
2
)
=
12
x
2
(
3
)
(
−
5
x
)
=
−
15
x
(
3
)
(
6
)
=
18
And now we add them all up (I'm going to group terms in the adding):
8
x
3
−
10
x
2
+
12
x
2
+
12
x
−
15
x
+
18
And now simplify:
8
x
3
+
2
x
2
−
3
x
+
18
Step-by-step explanation:
X = tuna, y = BLT
x + y = 30
6x + 9y = 240
3y = 60
y = 20
x = 10
20 BLTs for $2.50, 10 tuna for $1.50
