Is Ms.Z's solution correct? If not, what step did Ms.Z do incorrectly and what should the final answer be?
1. (2x)2 + 5(2 - 3x2)
2. 4x2 + 5(2 - 3x2)
3. 4x2 + 10 - 15x2
4. -19x2 + 10
Step 4 is incorrect. Mr. Eric did not combine like terms correctly.
The correct answer should be:
-11x2 + 10
Because 4x2 - 15x2 = (4 - 15)x2 = -11x2
