Question

You have a truck with two gas tanks. the volume of the larger tank is "8x2 2x − 1" in3 and the volume of the smaller tank is "7x2 − 2x 1" in3. find a single expression that represents the capacity of both gas tanks combined

Answer 1

The answer is 15x^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

To express the volume of both trucks in a single expression, we add the expressions,
8x² + 2x - 1
and also,
7x² - 2x + 1
Adding the corresponding terms in the expressions will give us an answer of,
15x²
Thus, the volumes of the trucks in a single expression is 15x².
