Math Problem Statement

(-2e - 3f + 4) (-e)

Solution

Let's simplify the expression:

(2e3f+4)(e)(-2e - 3f + 4)(-e)

Distribute e-e to each term inside the parentheses:

=(2e)(e)+(3f)(e)+(4)(e)= (-2e)(-e) + (-3f)(-e) + (4)(-e)

Now, simplify each term:

  1. (2e)(e)=2e2(-2e)(-e) = 2e^2
  2. (3f)(e)=3ef(-3f)(-e) = 3ef
  3. (4)(e)=4e(4)(-e) = -4e

Putting it all together:

=2e2+3ef4e= 2e^2 + 3ef - 4e

So the simplified expression is:

2e2+3ef4e2e^2 + 3ef - 4e

Here are five related questions:

  1. How do you factor expressions like 2e2+3ef4e2e^2 + 3ef - 4e?
  2. What happens if you factor out a common term in the expression 2e2+3ef4e2e^2 + 3ef - 4e?
  3. How do you expand binomials in algebra, especially with multiple variables like in the given problem?
  4. Can you solve for ee or ff in an equation derived from this expression?
  5. What other operations can you apply to the expression, such as combining like terms?

Tip: When distributing in algebra, always multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second to ensure you don't miss any parts of the expansion.
