Exercise 10



  1. 8 + 2(x − 5)
    = 8 + 2 x − 10
    = 2 x − 2

  2. −7(y − 4) + 9 y
    = −7y + 28 + 9 y
    = 2 y + 28

  3. 10xy − x(5y − 3x) − 4x^2
    = 10 xy − 5xy + 3 x^2 − 4x^2
    = 5 xy – x^2

  4. (3x − 1)(2x − 5) + (x + 1)^2
    = 6 x^2 − 17x + 5 + x^2 + 2 x + 1
    = 7 x^2 − 15x + 6

  5. 3x^2 − 4x − 5[x − 2(x − 8)]
    = 3 x^2 − 4x − 5[x −2x + 16]
    = 3 x^2 − 4x − 5[−x + 16]
    = 3 x^2 − 4x + 5 x − 80
    = 3 x^2 + x − 80
    6. −x(x + 4) + 5(x − 2)
    = −x^2 − 4x + 5 x − 10
    = −x^2 + x − 10
    7. (a − 5)(a + 2) − (a − 6)(a − 4)
    = a^2 − 3a − 10 – (a^2 − 10a + 24)
    = a^2 − 3a − 10 – a^2 + 10 a − 24
    = 7 a − 34
    8. 5x^2 − (−3xy − 2y^2 )
    = 5 x^2 + 3 xy + 2 y^2
    9. x^2 − [2x − x(3x − 1)] + 6 x
    = x^2 − [2x − 3x^2 + x] + 6 x
    = x^2 − [−3x^2 + 3 x] + 6 x
    = x^2 + 3 x^2 − 3x + 6 x
    = 4 x^2 + 3 x
    10. (4x^2 y^5 )(−2xy^3 )(−3xy) − 15x^2 y^3 (2x^2 y^6 + 2)
    = 24 x^4 y^9 − 30x^4 y^9 − 30x^2 y^3
    = − 6x^4 y^9 − 30x^2 y^3
