(а+2)(3а-1)
what’s the product? (i completely didnt pay attention throughout the year)

3a^2 + 5a - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a + 2)(3a - 1)

a(3a - 1) + 2(3a - 1)

3a^2 - a + 6a - 2

subtract like terms

3a^2 + 5a - 2

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
