simplify the expression.(9m^2-m+3)-(2m^2-4m-1).....2m+2..........7m^2+3m+4..........7m^2-4m-2 or 7m^2 -5m+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by distributing the negative sign on the second parentheses. Then remove the parens and combine like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the main idea here is to open the parentheses. When opening the parentheses of the second term (2m^2-4m-1), you should multiply each term by -1. After that, you have to add the like terms.

7m^2-5m+2???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. You forgot to distribute the - to all the terms in the second paren.. \(-(2m^2 - 4m-1) = -2m^2 + 4m + 1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You multiply -1 by each term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7m^2+3m+4??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.
