Question 266446
A polynomial in x has a degree 3. 
The coefficient of x squared is 3 less than the coefficient of x to the 3rd. The coefficient of x is three times the coefficient of x squared. 
The remaining coefficient is 2 more than the coefficient of x to the third. The sum of the coefficients is -4. What is the polynomial? 
-------------
y = kx^3 + (k-3)x^2  + (3k-9)x +(k+2)
----------------------------------------
Equation:
k + (k-3) + 3k-9 + k+2 = -4
6k -10 = -4
6k = 6
k = 1
----
Polynomial:
y = x^3 - 2x^2 -6x + 3
