Question

I need help what is p(x)?

Answer 1

C. p(x) = 5x - 20

Explanation:

p(x) = r(x) - c(x)

p(x) = (11x) - (6x + 20)

Remove the first set of parentheses because they are unnecessary.

p(x) = 11x - (6x + 20)

To remove the second set of parentheses, you must distribute the negative sign throughout the parentheses.

p(x) = 11x - 6x - 20

Combine like terms.

p(x) = 5x - 20
