4 groups of ___ tenths is 1.6

Given:

4 groups of ___ tenths is 1.6.

To find:

The value for the blank.

Solution:

Let the unknown value be x.

4 groups of x tenths is 1.6.

Divide both sides by 4.

So, 4 groups of 0.4 tenths is 1.6.

Therefore, the required answer for the blank is 0.4.

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form
