(3x−5)(x+8) Enter your answer in the box.

3x(to the 2nd) + 19x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+19x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the parenthesis

so 3x*x and 3x*8

which gives you

3x^2+24x

distribute the -5

-5*x and -5*8

which gives you

-5x-40

now put thos together

3x^2+24x-5x-40

combine like terms

3x^2+19x-40

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
