Select the expression that is equivalent to the polynomial given below. (4x + 3)(3x - 8) a.) 12x2 - 23x - 24 b.) 12x2 + 41x + 24 c.) 12x2 - 23x + 24 d.) 12x2 - 41x - 24 which would be the best option?

The correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

Using distributive property we get

Again use distributive property.

Combine like terms.

Therefore the correct option is c.

x = 1.5

y =1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=7

2x+4y=8

Multiply the first equation by -2

-2(3x+2y=7 )

-6x-4y = -14

Add this to the second equation

-6x-4y = -14

2x+4y=8

-4x = -6

Divide by -4

-4x/-4 = -6/-4

x = 1.5

Now find y

3x+2y=7

3(1.5) + 2y = 7

4.5 +2y = 7

Subtract 4.5 from each side

2y = 2.5

Divide by 2

y = 1.25
