Answer:
-5x^2-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.
If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.
So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2
-x*5x+-x*2
∴-5x^2-2x

Answer:
10. 67.36 14. 138.72
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 inches. If its length is three times its width, find the dimensions. 30 inches=2(L+W) Divide each side by 2. 15 inches=L+W Substitute for L.
X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.
