Brad had a small gathering at a local steakhouse. The steakhouse offers three dinner platters which vary by size and price. They ordered 4 of the 6-ounce platters, 3 of the 8-ounce platters, and 3 of the 11-ounce platters. Steak Platter Prices
• 6-ounce $9.95
• 8-ounce $12.95
• 11-ounce $15.95

If a gratuity of 18% was added to the bill, which of the following is closest to the total of the steak platters and gratuity, ignoring sales tax?
A.
$149
B.
$173
C.
$134
D.
$20

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
