teacher is telling me im wrong please someone show me where
here is what I got
using the column method add equations together
4x²-3x+7
3x²+4x-6
_________
7x²-x+13 ending result cf of 1st & last term
7x²=(7x)(x)
13=(-1)(-13)
7(x-1)(x-13)

Your mistake is that you added them, where you should subtract.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You should multiply each term of the second parenthesis by -1 before you add the like terms to the the first parenthesis .

Does that help?

You're welcome!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
after multiplying by -1 and adding them together i got
7x^2-7x+13
which is the same answer I had to start with the teacher said was wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Look carefully!! It's not the same.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ur right I forgot about the -7x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then this is the answer 7x^2-7x+13
