We have X and (30-X)( Think of x+y =30 so y = 30-x) so when we multiply these two together we have
X^2 - 30x
I hope that this helps
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If x is one of two numbers whose sum is 30, then the other number is 30-x, since x + (30-x) = 30
The product of x and (30-x) is:
A function of x representing this can be written:
