Question

Three friends, Jessa, Tyree, and Ben, are collecting canned food for a culinary skills class. Their canned food collection goal is represented by the expression 8x2 − 4xy + 8. The friends have already collected the following number of cans:

Jessa: 5xy + 17
Tyree: x2
Ben: 4x2 − 8

Part A: Write an expression to represent the amount of canned food collected so far by the three friends. Show all your work.

Part B: Write an expression that represents the number of cans the friends still need to collect to meet their goal. Show all your work.

Answer 1

5x^2 + 5xy + 9

Explanation:

5xy + 17
x^2

4x^2 - 8

5xy + 17 + x^2 + 4x^2 - 8 = 5x^2 + 5xy + 9

8x^2 - 4xy + 8
5x^2 + 5xy + 9
