Using the binomial theorem, the term containing the x² y⁷ will be equal to

 (2x)²(–y)⁷

=36(–4x² y⁷)= -144x²y⁷

The easisest way to solve for  is to begin by plugging each pair of coordinates into the function.

Using our first point, we will plug in  for  and  for .  This gives us the equation

.

Squaring 0 gives us 0, and multiplying this by  still gives 0, leaving only  on the right side, such that

.

We now know the value of , and we can use this to help us find .  Substituting our second set of coordinates into the function, we get

 which simplifies to

.

However, since we know , we can substitute to get

subtracting 7 from both sides gives

and dividing by 4 gives our answer

.

To answer this problem, we need to multiply the expressions together, being mindful of how to correctly multiply like variables with exponents. To do this, we add the exponents together if the the like variables are being multiplied and subtract the exponents if the variables are being divided. So, for the presented data:

We then multiply the remaining expressions together. When we do this, we will multiply the coefficients together and combine the different variables into the final expression. Therefore:

This means our answer is .

While this problem can be answered by multiplying the three binomials, it is not necessary. There are three ways to multiply one term from each binomial such that two  terms and one constant are multiplied; find the three products and add them, as follows:

Add: .

The correct response is .

Even though there are three terms in the equation, there are technically only two because it's a matter of collecting like terms. 

The main objective in this problem is to solve for x. In order to do so, we need to get x by itself. The first step to accomplish this is to subtract 27 from the left side of the equation and do the same to the right. This follows the idea of "what you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other." From here, you can collect like terms between -137 and -27 because they're both constants. 

The goal of getting x by itself on one side has been almost achieved. We still have that coefficient "5" that's being multiplied by x. In order to make 5x just x, 5x needs to be divided by 5 and therefore so does -164. Again, this follows the concept of mimicking actions on both sides of an equation.
