Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

1) Final expression: +7y^2-6y-17

2) Final expression: 21x^3-46x^2+59x-30

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The first expression is

(-2y^2-11y-7)-(-9y^2-5y+10)

First, we remove the 2nd bracket by changing the sign of all the terms inside:

-2y^2-11y-7-+9y^2+5y-10

Now we group the terms with same degree together:

(-2y^2+9y^2)+(-11y+5y)+(-7-10)

Now we solve the expression in each brackets:

(-2y^2+9y^2)+(-11y+5y)+(-7-10)=\\+7y^2-6y-17

So, this is the final expression.

2)

The second expression is

(7x-6)(3x^2-4x+5)

We apply the distributive property, so we rewrite the expression as follows:

(7x-6)(3x^2-4x+5)=7x(3x^2-4x+5)-6(3x^2-4x+5)

Solving both brackets,

7x(3x^2-4x+5)-6(3x^2-4x+5)=\\21x^3-28x^2+35x-18x^2+24x-30

Now we group terms of same degree together:

21x^3-28x^2+35x-18x^2+24x-30=\\21x^3+(-28x^2-18x^2)+(35x+24x)-30

And solving each bracket,

21x^3+(-28x^2-18x^2)+(35x+24x)-30=\\21x^3-46x^2+59x-30

So, this is the final expression.
