Answer 18

aye kid
welp this how you do it

we pickd b which was 4( 2x^5+x^2- 3)

if you distribute the 4 you will get the same answer from your original equation
which we will get 8 x^5 + 4x^2- 12..

distribution means that you are multiplying the 4 to (2x^5) then 4(x^2) then (4)(-3)

Answer 19

correct 100% correct and then combine the terms
