Question

The variables X, Y, and Z represent polynomials where X = a, Y = 3a – 5, and Z = a2 + 2. What is X2Y – Z in simplest form?

Answer 1

its B on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

3a³ - 6a² - 2

Explanation:

X²Y - Z

= a²(3a - 5) - (a² + 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 3a³ - 5a² - a² - 2 ← collect like terms

= 3a³ - 6a² - 2
