Joseph has 48 comic books. He sold one-fourth of his collection to his friend. He brought twice the number of comic books as he has now. how many comic books does he have now?

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joseph has 48 comic books.

As he sold 1/4 of his collection to his friend, so

The number of books, Josef sold = 1/4 x 48 = 12.

The number of remaining books, Josef has = 48 - 12 = 36.

As he brought twice the number of comic books as he has now, so,

the number of comic books, Josef brought = 2 x 36 = 72.

Now, total number of comic books, Josef has = 36 + 72 = 108.

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form
