this is just an expression ?
expand (x+1)(2x+5) using product rule of polynomials
x-3-2x^2-2x-5x-5 =-(2x^2+6x+8) =-2(x^2+3x+4)
By F.O.I.L (First Outer Inner Last) we can expand: \[(x+1)(2x+5) = 2x^2+5x+2x+5=2x^2+7x+5\] Then we've got: \[(x-3)-(2x^2+7x+5)=(2x^2+6x+2)\] ...man, I am super rusty. I still for some reason think I've done something wrong!
yeah ur wrong..this is the correct answer... -2x^2+8x+2
