Wym has a packet of 50 biscuits she gives half of them to her friend and then eats 8 how many are left

17 biscuits

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she starts with 50 and gives away half which is 25, that will leave her with 25 biscuits herself. If she then eats 8 of them, that will leave her with 17 since 25-8=17.

- 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

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
