Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression: (-8x + 10) - (3x^2 - x + 8).

Solution

The expression in the image is:

(8x+10)(3x2x+6)(-8x + 10) - (3x^2 - x + 6)

Let's simplify this step by step.

  1. Distribute the negative sign across the second parentheses: (8x+10)(3x2x+6)=8x+103x2+x6(-8x + 10) - (3x^2 - x + 6) = -8x + 10 - 3x^2 + x - 6

  2. Now, combine like terms: 3x2+(8x+x)+(106)=3x27x+4-3x^2 + (-8x + x) + (10 - 6) = -3x^2 - 7x + 4

So, the simplified expression is: 3x27x+4-3x^2 - 7x + 4
