Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
Profit equals revenue minus cost. Subtract the cost polynomial from the revenue polynomial: (2x³ + 30x − 130) − (2x³ − 3x − 520). The cubic terms cancel, and combining the remaining terms gives 30x + 3x = 33x and −130 + 520 = 390. So the profit is 33x + 390, choice B.
