Which simplified expression is equivalent to the total distance, in miles, for which the car was tested?

3x2 _ 4

3x2 + 10

    Total distance = flat road + downhill + uphill

    Total distance = x + (x^2 + 3) + (x - 7) = x + x^2 + 3 + x - 7 = x^2 + 2x - 4

    Answer: the third option, x^2 + 2x - 4
