Question

Which of the following is equivalent to the expression shown (0.2x-1)+(0.3-0.01x)

Answer 1

0.07x - 0.002x^2 - 0.3

Explanation:

Given the expression shown (0.2x-1)+(0.3-0.01x)

Expand

(0.2x-1)+(0.3-0.01x)

= 0.2x(0.3) - 0.2x(0.01x)-1(0.3) + 1(0.01x)

= 0.06x - 0.002x^2 - 0.3 + 0.01x

= 0.06x+0.01x - 0.002x^2 - 0.3

= 0.07x - 0.002x^2 - 0.3

This gives the required expression
