Volume is legnth times widht times height
lenght=2x-1
width=x-2
height=x+1
multiply all together
use mass distributive property
distributive=a(b+c)=ab+ac so extending that
(a+c)(c+c)=(a+b)(c)+(a+b)(d) then keep distributing so
(2x-1)(x-2)(x+1)
do each one seperately
do the first two first and put the other one (x+1) to the side for later
(2x-1)(x-2)=(2x-1)(x)+(2x-1)(-2)=(2x^2-x)+(-4x+2)=2x^2-5x+2
then do the other one
(x+1)(2x^2-5x+2)=(x)(2x^2-5x+2)+(1)(2x^2-5x+2)=(2x^3-5x^2+2x)+(2x^2-5x+2)=2x^3-3x^2-3x+2
the lasst form is 2x^3-3x^2-3x+2
As an improper fraction, it is
.
Answer:
15x+45-2x=15x-2x-10
13x+45=13x+10
13x-13x=10-45
if you simplify further
you will not get an answer there is a mistake in the question
