Question

FIRST CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST 50 PTS $(2x-5)^{2} +3(2x-5)-18$

Answer 1

Answer:

4x² -14x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 5)² + 3(2x-5) - 18

Expand brackets.

(2x-5)(2x-5) + 6x -15 - 18

2x(2x-5)-5(2x-5) + 6x - 33

4x² - 10x - 10x + 25 + 6x - 33

Combine like terms.

4x² -14x - 8

Answer 2

Answer:

4x^2 -14x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

( 2x-5)^2 + 3( 2x-5) -18

Foil

(2x-5)(2x-5) = 4x^2 -10x-10x +25 = 4x^2 -20x+25

Distribute

3( 2x-5) = 6x -15

( 2x-5)^2 + 3( 2x-5) -18

Replace with the foil and distribute

4x^2 -20x+25 +6x -15 - 18

Combine like terms

4x^2 -14x -8
