simplify and write in standard form (2x^2-6X-5)(3-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@keegq ,apply the distributive property. (3)(2x^2-6X-5) - (x)(2x^2-6X-5) now open up the brackets and simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x^2-18x-15-2x^2+6x^2+5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

keegq, check again . is it -2x^2 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+2x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@keegq I meant check the power of x in 2x^2. It is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@keegq . Yes it should be 6x^2-18x-15-2x^3+6x^2+5x Now add up all the x^2 terms and x terms separately and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^3+12x^2-13x-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Almost right. Check the sign of 2x^3 term. It should be -2x^3 So your answer should be -2x^3+12x^2-13x-15
