so ...
do the mathematical model ...
.
X=2Y
(X+7)+(Y+7)= 35
-
THEN
Solve the equation

x = 14
Answer:
Help with what?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x^2 + 9x + 1
Or
3x ( x + 3 ) + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 2 +3x^2 ) + (4x + 3 )
To make this a little bit more easier to read, you can remove the parentheses:
5x - 2 + 3x^2 + 4x + 3
Now, write in a way so that the like terms are next to each other:
3x^2 + 5x + 4x - 2 + 3
Now simplify the 'x' terms to get:
3x^2 + 9x - 2 + 3
Now, simplify the integers (the ones with now variables with them) to get:
3x^2 + 9x + 1
If you want, you can factor out the 3x for two of the terms to get :
3x ( x + 3 ) + 1
Therefore, your simplest form can either be 3x^2 + 9x + 1 OR 3x (x + 3 ) + 1
The correct answer is C. They are going down by 3.
