Distribute.
(a + 8)(a -3)
FOIL:
First, Outside, Inside, and Last
a * a = a^2
a * 3 = 3a
8 * a = 8a
8 * -3 = - 24
a^2 + 11a - 24
Distributed Expression: a^2 + 11a - 24
Answer:
s ( x ) = 102, a ( x ) = 8 ( x + 2 )
A function that combines the two:
f ( x ) = s ( x ) + a ( x ) = 102 + 8 ( x + 2 ) =
= 102 + 8 x + 16
final answer : f ( x ) = 8 x + 118
The correct answer is 16.7
Hope this helped :)
