(2x+1)(x-2) = 2x^2 - 4x +x -2= 2x^2-3x-2
The answer is Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Group the given cubic polynomial into two sections.
So polynomial can be grouped as
Step 2:Find what's the common in each section.
In section the come term is
In section (8x + 48) the come term is 8
Step 3:Factor the commonalities out of the two terms.
Factoring out from the first section , we get
Factoring out 8 from the second section(8x + 48) , we will get 8(x + 6).
Step 4: Combine the factors together for terms contains the same factor,
Combining we get,
8.5x-26.35=-37.35
8.5x=-37.35+26.35
8.5x=-11
X=-11/8.5
X=-1.29
I'm pretty sure it is 20 hundreths
