I think that the answer is seven but i’m not sure
Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:
6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 ÷ 5/9
2/3 × 9/5 ( while changing division to multiple, numerator and denominator changes
2 × 3/5 ( 9/3 =3
Ans =6/5
Answer: x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative. 4x + (-7x) = -3x. Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7. Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2. Then you should get -3x = -9. Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.
