If (x + 2)(3x^2 + x + 5) = Ax^3 + Bx^2 + Cx + D$, what is the value of A + B + 2C + 5D?

\(\left(x+2\right)\left(3x^2+x+5\right)\)

 

\(\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses}\)

 

\(x\cdot \:3x^2+xx+x\cdot \:5+2\cdot \:3x^2+2x+2\cdot \:5\)

 

\(3x^3+7x^2+7x+10\)

 

Sub these in \(A + B + 2C + 5D\)

 

\(3+3+2(7)+5(10)\)

 

\(=70\)

$$\displaystyle 3x^3 + x^2 + 5x + 6x^2 + 2x + 10, which \ equals \ 3x^3 + 7x^2 + 7x + 10. The \ answer \ is \ 3 + 1 + 14 + 50, which \ is \ 68.$$

You mean 3+7+14+50? not 3+1+14+50...
