3 LESS THAN TWICE X AND 2 MORE THAN THE QUALITY 3 TIMES X? I need the product?
Please don't type in all caps. This is the equivalent to shouting and is rude.
3 less than twice x = 2x - 3
2 more than the quantity 3 times x =
3x + 2
(2x - 3)(3x + 2) = ?
Use FOIL to expand.
Sorry, I didn't know and Thanks so much :)
You're welcome :)
To find the product of the expressions "3 less than twice x" and "2 more than the quantity 3 times x," we first need to understand what each expression means.
"3 less than twice x" can be written in algebraic notation as: 2x - 3.
"2 more than the quantity 3 times x" can be written in algebraic notation as: 3x + 2.
To find the product of these two expressions, we multiply them together. So, the product can be obtained by multiplying (2x - 3) and (3x + 2).
(2x - 3) * (3x + 2) = 6x^2 + 4x - 9x - 6 = 6x^2 - 5x - 6.
Therefore, the product of the expressions "3 less than twice x" and "2 more than the quantity 3 times x" is 6x^2 - 5x - 6.
