See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine the number of cans for the wall

The dimension of the wall is not given. So, I will use the following assumed values:

First, calculate the area of the wall

If

Then

Cross Multiply:

Make x the subject

400 cans using the assume dimensions.

So, all you need to to is, get the original values and follow the same steps

- 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
