The answer to the problem is 127
Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use x for the first number, and y for the second, you get equations of 3x+5y=54 and x-2=y.
You can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve it. This gives 3x+5(x-2)=54.
The brackets can be expanded to 3x+5x-10=54. Collecting like terms makes it 8x-10=54.
Next, we add 10 to both sides. This gives 8x=64.
From there, we isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8, giving x=8.
To work out the second number, we can sub 8 for x in either equation (I'm using the second one as it's simpler).
This comes to y=8-2, therefore y=6.

Answer:
D) 12x² - 20x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Use FOIL when multiplying 2 binomials...
FOIL is Firsts, Outsides, Insides, Lasts. It's the order in which you multiply the numbers in the binomials...
(2x - 1)(6x - 7)
Firsts: (2x)(6x) = 12x²
Outsides: (2x)(-7) = -14x
Insides: (-1)(6x) = -6x
Lasts: (-1)(-7) = 7
Now add them up...
12x² - 14x - 6x + 7
12x² - 20x + 7
