Rhea is solving a math puzzle. To find the solution of the puzzle, she must find the product of two numbers. The first number is the sum of 23 and x, and the second number is 18 less than two times the first number. Which of the following functions represents the product of these two numbers?

Opions are:

A.
P(x) = 2x^2 + 74x + 644
B.
P(x) = 2x^2 + 28x - 414
C.
P(x) = 2x^2 + 102x + 1,288
D.
P(x) = 2x^2 + 110x + 1,472

Respuesta :

Answer:

It's B.

Step-by-step explanation:

First  is x + 23 and second is  2x - 18.

So the product is

(x + 23)(2x - 18)

= 2x^2 - 18x + 46x - 414

=  2x^2 + 28x - 414
