The answer should be
24x3+44x-54x2-99
When we multiply the polynomials we will get:
(5x^2+2x)(3x^2-7x+4)
=5x^2(3x^2-7x+4)+2x(3x^2-7x+4)
=15x^4-35x^3+20x^2+6x^3-14x^2+8x
=15x^4+(6x^3-35x^3)+(20x^2-14x^2)+8x
=15x^4-29x^3+6x^2+8x
The correct answer is C
For this problem, let x be the number of children and y for adults. Formulate the equations: 1st equation, x + y = 3,200 and 2nd equation 5x + 9y = 24,000. Re-arrange 1st equation into x = 3200 - y. Then, substitute into 2nd equation, 5(3,200-y) + 9y = 24,000. Then, solve for y. The 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Final answer is, y = 2000 adults went to watch the movie.
