Treat the 'more than or equal to' sign as a '=' then work it out like an ordinary algebraic equation.
2(4x-3) = -3(3x)+5x
8x-6 = -9x+5x
-6 = -9x+5x-8x
-6 = -12x
-6/-12 = x
1/2 = x
Then swap the '=' back for the other sign. This works for all of the '<' type signs

Multiply the polynomials. (x – 5)(x2 + 4x – 2)

klemol [59]

the cheap answer is simply

(x-5)(x²+4x-2)

we can simply multiply the terms on one by the terms of the other and then add like-terms and simplify.

$\bf (x-5)(x^2+4x-2)\implies \begin{array}{cllll} x^2+4x-2\\ \times x\\ \cline{1-1}\\ x^3+4x^2-2x \end{array}+ \begin{array}{cllll} x^2+4x-2\\ \times -5\\ \cline{1-1}\\ -5x^2-20x+10 \end{array} \\\\\\ x^3+4x^2-2x-5x^2-20x+10\implies x^3+4x^2-5x^2-2x-20x+10 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill x^3-x^2-22x+10~\hfill$
