Question

Which expression is equivalent to 3m(x) - 5n(x), if m(x) = 6x2 + 3x - 5 and n(x) = 2x2 + 7x - 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

8x^2 - 26x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(6x2 + 3x - 5 ) = 18x^2 + 9 -15

5(2x2 + 7x - 1) = 10x^2 + 35 - 5

18^2 - 10x^2 = 8x^2

9x - 35x = - 26x

-15 -(-5) = -10

final answer = 8x^2 - 26x - 10
