D. Distributive Property; Combine Like Terms; Commutative Property of Addition

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. Distributive Property; Commutative Property of Addition; Combine Like Terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedure is described below:

1) [tex]-2\cdot (2\cdot x^{3}+4\cdot x^{2}-3)+5\cdot (x^{2}-2\cdot x -2)[/tex]  Given.

2) [tex]-4\cdot x^{3}-8\cdot x^{2}+6 +5\cdot x^{2}-10\cdot x -10[/tex]  Distributive Property.

3) [tex]-4\cdot x^{3}-8\cdot x^{2}+5\cdot x^{2}-10\cdot x + 6 - 10[/tex] Commutative Property of Addition.

4) [tex]-4\cdot x^{3}-3\cdot x^{2}-10\cdot x -4[/tex] Combine like terms.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
