Question

What is the value of 4(x − 2)(x − 3) + 7(x-2)(x - 5) - 6(x - 3)(x - 5) when * = 5?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Substitute 5 for x.

4(5-2)(5-3) + 7(5-2)(5-5) - 6(5-3)(5-5)

Simplify data inside of parenthesis.

4(3)(2) + 7(3)(0) - 6(2)(0)

Because anything multiplied by 0 is 0, you can cancel out the last 2 terms.

Remaining term.

4(3)(2)

Solve: 12*2
