Question

how do I solve this the product of 3 less than twice x and 2 more than the quantity 3 times x ?

Answer 1

i cant seem to figure this problem

Answer 2

i got 1/5 what did others get? i dont want to explain it if im wrong

Answer 3

It's a product, so you first need to figure out what and what you're multiplying :
3 less than twice x * 2 more than 3 times x
So far so good?
@imasofty I don't think this will give you a number at the end, unless I'm mistaken. That should give you a polynomial expression

Answer 4

oh i just set them equal and solved for x

Answer 5

oh snap its a product so you aregoing to be foiling have fun with that

Answer 6

To nudge you in the right direction, here's how to "mathematify" the first term :
3 less than twice x. twice x is 2x. 3 less than 2x is 2x-3
So we now have this :
(2x-3) * (2 more than 3 times x)
Think you can give that second term a try?

Answer 7

3x-2

Answer 8

Im probably wrong

Answer 9

close, but not quite. 3 times x is 3x, that part you got. 2 more than 3x will be what?

Answer 10

6x

Answer 11

Two MORE

Answer 12

8x

Answer 13

You have 3 dollars and I have 2 more dollars than you. How much do I have and how did you get it?

Answer 14

if I ask you what 2 more than 5 is, what will you answer?

Answer 15

5x

Answer 16

7x

Answer 17

5 dollars!!! How do you get 5 dollars?

Answer 18

You make something more than something else by adding to the first quantity.

Answer 19

You have 3 dollars and I have 2 dollars more
3+2=5. I have 5 dollars

Answer 20

Similarly 2 more than 3x is 3x+2

Answer 21

so i'm adding 3x+2=

Answer 22

Bingo

Answer 23

alright problem solved

Answer 24

Three less than twice x is 2x-3
2 more than 3x is 3x+2
Multiply those two binomials because in order to find a product you have to multiply.

Answer 25

(2x-3)(3x+2)=
Use FOIL

Answer 26

im confused with the inner and outer process
