Write each answer in polynomial in simplest form
The cost of 12 gallons of gas is represented by 12x, and the cost of a quart of oil is represented by 2x - 30.Represent the cost of 12 gallons of gas and a quart of oil.
just add the two expressions.
To represent the cost of 12 gallons of gas and a quart of oil, we need to add the cost of 12 gallons of gas (12x) to the cost of a quart of oil (2x - 30).
So, the cost of 12 gallons of gas and a quart of oil can be represented by the expression:
12x + (2x - 30).
To simplify this expression, we combine like terms.
12x + 2x - 30
= (12x + 2x) - 30
= 14x - 30.
Therefore, the cost of 12 gallons of gas and a quart of oil is represented by the polynomial 14x - 30 in its simplest form.
