Question

10 POINTS NEED AN ANSWER ASAP PLS SIMPLIFY.

1. 2X + 8X – 10 + 6
2. 3(X+7)
3. (X + 2) (X - 3)

Answer 1

1. 2 ( 5x - 2 )

2. 3x + 21

3. x² - x - 6

Explanation:

1.

`2x + 8x - 10 + 6`

Collect like terms

`= 10x - 10 + 6`

Calculate the sum

`= 10x - 4`

Factor out 2 from the expression

`= 2(5x - 2)`

2.

`3(x + 7)`

Multiply each term in the parentheses by 3

`= 3x + 3 * 7`

Multiply the numbers

`= 3x + 21`

3.

`(x + 2)(x - 3)`

Multiply each term in the first parentheses by each term in the second parentheses ( FOIL )

`= x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3)`

Calculate the product

`= {x}^(2) - 3x + 2x - 2 * 3`

Multiply the numbers

`= {x}^(2) - 3x + 2x - 6`

Collect like terms

`= {x}^(2) - x - 6`

Hope this helps..
