Rhea is solving a math puzzle. to find the solution of the puzzle, she must find the product of two numbers. the first number is the sum of 23 and x, and the second number is 18 less than two times the first number. which of the following functions represents the product of these two numbers?
a.
p(x) = 2x2 + 28x - 414
b.
p(x) = 2x2 + 102x + 1,288
c.
p(x) = 2x2 + 110x + 1,472
d.
p(x) = 2x2 + 74x + 644

  D.  2x² +74x +644

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number can be written as (x +23).

The second number can be written as 2(x+23)-18 = (2x +28).

The product of these numbers can be found using the distributive property:

  P(x) = (x +23)(2x +28) = x(2x +28) +23(2x +28)

  = 2x² +28x +46x +644 . . . . . . . already you know the correct answer choice

  P(x) = 2x² +74x +644

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
