Question

Why is the answer correct?
​

Answer 1

`\bf x(2x+4x^2-5-3x)\implies x(\stackrel{\textit{like-terms}}{2x-3x}+4x^2-5)\implies x(-x+4x^2-5) \\\\\\ -x^2+4x^3-5x\implies \stackrel{\textit{general form}}{4x^3-x^2-5x}`

Answer 2

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

x(2x + 4x² - 5 – 3x)

1. Distribute the x

2x² + 4x³ - 5x - 3x²

2. Combine like terms

4x³ - 5x – x²

3. Write the expression in order of descending powers of x

`\boxed{\mathbf{4x^(3) - x^(2) - 5x}}`
