Answer 1

Here you go…………….. ……

Answer 2

Hey there!

3x(x - 2) + 7x - 1

DISTRIBUTE 3x WITHIN the PARENTHESES

= 3x(x) + 3x(-2) + 7x - 1

= 3x^2 - 6x + 7x - 1

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

= (3x^2) - 6x + 7x - 1

= 3x^2 + 1x - 1

= 3x^2 + x - 1

Therefore, your answer is: “3x^2 + x - 1” OR you could say “3x^2 + 1x - 1” because they are both equivalent to each other

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
