y=125x^3-141x^2+66x-7y=125x3141x2+66x7

Explanation:

To rewrite the equation in standard form, expand the brackets:

y=(5x-2)^3+(-3x-1)^2y=(5x2)3+(3x1)2

y=(5x-2)(5x-2)(5x-2)+(-3x-1)(-3x-1)y=(5x2)(5x2)(5x2)+(3x1)(3x1)

Expand the first two (5x-2)(5x2) brackets.

y=(25x^2-20x+4)(5x-2)+(9x^2+6x+1)y=(25x220x+4)(5x2)+(9x2+6x+1)

Expand the last (5x-2)(5x2) bracket.

y=(125x^3-100x^2+20x-50x^2+40x-8)+(9x^2+6x+1)y=(125x3100x2+20x50x2+40x8)+(9x2+6x+1)

Group all like-terms together in the first bracket.

y=(125x^3-100x^2-50x^2+20x+40x-8)+(9x^2+6x+1)y=(125x3100x250x2+20x+40x8)+(9x2+6x+1)

Simplify the like-terms in the first bracket.

y=(125x^3-150x^2+60x-8)+(9x^2+6x+1)y=(125x3150x2+60x8)+(9x2+6x+1)

Group all like-terms together.

y=125x^3-150x^2+9x^2+60x+6x-8+1y=125x3150x2+9x2+60x+6x8+1

Simplify.

y=125x^3-141x^2+66x-7y=125x3141x2+66x7
