Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

"Three times a number" means 3x

"is 24 less than the number" means = x-24

Put them togehter:

3x = x-24

2x = -24

x = -12

find the product of (3x − 4)(2x2 2x − 1). 6x3 2x2 − 5x 4 6x3 14x2 − 11x 4 6x3 − 14x2 − 5x 4 6x3 − 2x2 − 11x 4
zheka24 [161]
(3x - 4)(2x^2 + 2x - 1) = 3x(2x^2 + 2x - 1) - 4(2x^2 + 2x - 1) = (6x^3 + 6x^2 - 3x) - (8x^2 + 8x - 4) = 6x^3 + 6x^2 - 3x - 8x^2 - 8x + 4 = 6x^3 - 2x^2 - 11x + 4
