The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the polynomial given: \[ h(x) = -2(x^2 - 5x + 3) + 7(c - x) \] ### Step 1: Expand the polynomial First, we will expand the polynomial by distributing the constants: \[ h(x) = -2(x^2) + 10x - 6 + 7c - 7x \] ### Step 2: Combine like terms Next, we combine the like terms in the polynomial: \[ h(x) = -2x^2 + (10x - 7x) + (7c - 6) \] This simplifies to: \[ h(x) = -2x^2 + 3x + (7c - 6) \] ### Step 3: Set the constant term to zero For \( h(x) \) to be divisible by \( x \), the constant term must equal zero. The constant term in our polynomial is \( 7c - 6 \). Therefore, we set it to zero: \[ 7c - 6 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( c \) Now, we solve for \( c \): \[ 7c = 6 \] \[ c = \frac{6}{7} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( c \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{6}{7}} \]
