Question

show all work. Find the difference: 
-5(x^2 + 2x – 5) – (7x^2 – 2x – 3)

anonymous · Answer

Distribute the -5 into the first polynomial.  Then distribute the -1 into the second polynomial.  Then combine like terms.

anonymous · Answer

-5x^2 -10x +25 -7x^2 +4x +3

anonymous · Answer

combine like terms and that is all.

anonymous · Answer

-5x^2 - 7x^2 + 10x + 4x + 25 + 3  ?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, you put the like terms near each other.  Now combine.... -5x^2 -7x^2 = -12x^2.....do that with the x-term and the constants.

anonymous · Answer

i am lost after that..

anonymous · Answer

-5x^2 - 7x^2 = -12x^2     10x+4x = 14x  25 +3 = 28
-12x^2 + 14x +28

anonymous · Answer

Sorry.  You got it though.

anonymous · Answer

You wrote 28 twice...but the rest is right.

anonymous · Answer

you have 28 - 12x^2 + 14x + 28 as the final answer above both 28's supposed to be there?

anonymous · Answer

I wrote 25+3 = 28...then the next line i started the final answer.  Only one 28 is needed
