Question

Multiply using the distributive property. Answer must be in standard form. −2x2(6x3−7x2+x−5)

Answer 1

-12x^5 + 7x^4 - 2x^3 + 10x^2

Explanation:

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: −2x^2(6x^3 − 7x^2 + x −5). Now multiply each term within the parentheses by -2^2, one by one:

-12x^5 + 7x^4 - 2x^3 + 10x^2

Answer 2

-4(x-1)

Explanation:

Simplify 6 ⋅ 3 to 18.

-2 ⋅ 2(18 - 7 ⋅ 2 + x - 5)

Simplify 7 ⋅ 2 to 14

-2 ⋅ 2 (18 - 14 + x -5)

Simplify 18 - 14 + x -5 to x-1

-2 ⋅ 2 (x - 1)

Simplify

-4 (x - 1)
