Answer:
=x^2+7x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify: xx+5x+2x+2.5: x+7x+10
Add similar elements: 5x+2x= 7x
=xx+7x+2.5
xx=x2
2.5=10
=x+7x+10
Answer: =x^2+7x+10

The race is 111.6 m long.
8 hurdles spaced 12.3 m apart means 7 spaces that are 12.3 m in length; 7*12.3 = 86.1
Add to this the distance to the first hurdle and the distance from the last hurdle:
86.1+15+10.5 = 111.6 m
