Answer:
x^2+x-2
this is the answer bc the 2nd parentheses is being multiplied by the negative sign meaning you need to subtract it from the 1st parentheses.
Let the actor's initial weight be 'x'
He is then gaining 20 pounds. The clue is in the word 'gaining' as it means 'increasing' or in Mathematics can be related as 'plus'
The expression is: x+20
He then loses 15 pounds. The clue is in the word 'losses' as it means 15 pounds is to be subtracted from the last value
Last value is x + 20
The weight now is x + 20 - 15 = x + 5
the nearest ten would be 50, Just go up till the next 10,20,30,40,50,60,70.etc. all of them are by tens
40-44 is going down 45-49 is going up
0=40-10t-5t^2
t^2+2t-8=0
(t+4)(t-2)=0
t=-4 (not a solution) or t=2
Answer: after 2 seconds
