a. 5x + 3(x2 - x - 1)
= 5x + 3x2 - 3x - 3
= 3x2 + 5x - 3x - 3
= 3x2 + 2x - 3
b. (5 - x)(5 + x) - (2x - 1)2
25 - x2 - (4x2 - 4x + 1)
= 25 - x2 - 4x2 + 4x - 1
= 25 - 1 - x2 - 4x2 + 4x
= 24 - 5x2 + 4x
a) \(5x+3\left(x^2-x-1\right)=5x+3x^2-3x-3=3x^2+2x-3\)
b) \(\left(5-x\right)\left(5+x\right)-\left(2x-1\right)^2=25-x^2-4x^2+4x-1=-5x^2+4x+24\)
\(a) 5x+3(x^2-x-1)=5x+3x^2-3x-3\)
\(=3x^2-2x-3\)
\(b)(5-x)(5+x)-(2x-1)^2=25-x^2-4x^2+4x-1\)
\(=-5x^2+4x-24\)
