Just kidding, sorry: ONE more question!
Find the constant coefficient when the polynomial 3(x - 4) + 2(x^2 - x + 7) - 5(x - 1) is simplified.
It simplifies to 2x^2-4x+7
(☞゚ヮ゚)☞
3(x - 4) + 2(x^2 - x + 7) - 5(x - 1)
Constant is
3 * (- 4 ) + 2 * 7 + (-5)* (-1) =
-12 + 14 + 5 =
7 ......just as you found ....good job....!!!
Thanks so much!
