For this case we must find the following expression:


(2x-1) (x + 4)

Applying distributive property term to term we have:


(2x) (x) + (2x) (4) - (1) (x) - (1) (4) =\\2x ^ 2 + 8x-x-4 =

Simplifying similar terms:


2x ^ 2 + 7x-4

Answer:


2x ^ 2 + 7x-4

2 x squared + 7 x minus 4

Option C

Answer:

option 3 -
(2x-1)(x+4)=2x^2+7x-4

Explanation:

Given : Expression (2 x minus 1)(x + 4) is
(2x-1)(x+4)

To find : What is the product ?

Solution :

Expression
(2x-1)(x+4)

Multiply term by term,


(2x-1)(x+4)=2x* x+2x* 4-1* x-1* 4


(2x-1)(x+4)=2x^2+8x-x-4


(2x-1)(x+4)=2x^2+7x-4

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.
