The distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
27 - 18r = 9·3 - 9·2r = 9(3 - 2r)
Answer:
<h2>
x²+7x-2 = 0</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of a quadratic equation with roots a and b is expressed as shown;
x²-(sum of root) x + (product of roots) = 0
x² - (a+b)x + ab = 0 ... 1
Given the sum of roots a+b = -7
Product of roots ab = -2
Substituting this values in equation 1 above wil give;
x²-(-7)x+(-2) = 0
x²+7x-2 = 0
The resulting quadratic polynomial is x²+7x-2 = 0
