Question

What is the simplified form of (x2 + 5x − 6)(x − 2)?

Answer 1

Answer: y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation: I think this is right but if not I apologize

Answer 2

x³ + 3x² - 16x + 12

Explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x²(x - 2) + 5x(x - 2) - 6(x - 2) ← distribute the 3 parenthesis

= x³ - 2x² + 5x² - 10x - 6x + 12 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 3x² - 16x + 12
