Answer:</h3>
- -100x +100; 3
- 5x +81; 162

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The distributive property is your friend. It tells you ...
a(b + c) = ab + ac
It can also be used to simplify the product of binomials (or other polynomials).
(a +b)^2 = (a +b)(a +b) = a(a +b) + b(a +b) = a^2 +ab +ab +b^2
(a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2 . . . . . . . worth remembering
1. (x -10)^2 -x(x +80) = (x^2 -20x +100) +(-x^2 -80x)
= -100x +100 . . . . . . simplified form
For the purposes of calculation, it can be easier to factor out 100:
= 100 (1 -x)
Then for x = 0.97
= 100(1 -0.97) = 100(0.03) = 3
___
2. (2x +9)^2 -x(4x +31) = (4x^2 +36x +81) -4x^2 -31x = 5x +81
For x = 16.2, this is ...
5(16.2) +81 = 81 +81 = 162
_____
The purpose of the attachment is to show the evaluation is correct.
868 is about 870, and 28 is about 30, so your expression would be 870 divided by 30 which would be 29 and the actual answer is 31, so your estimate would be close to your actual answer.
Answer:
Here, James took the right decision. I will clarify this with few points.
1st - If he purchases a car at high interest rate, he will still have all his debt on previous credit card standing as it is. He will have to pay car loan plus his older dues thus paying at double places.
2nd - It is likely that he can still default on loans as paying double money each month can create problems and James can again stop making payments.
3rd - If James starts paying his debts now, he can be free in a few years time and his credit score will again become good. Then he will get the regular rate of interest for his car as he will be debt free.
So, we can say, he made the right decision.
