OpenStudy (aroub):

OpenStudy (aroub):

can u do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im trying but every answer I get does not show on my quiz.

OpenStudy (aroub):

what did u get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x9-6x8+4x7-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think a mistake in the distributive law for the last term you need to change the sign of everything

OpenStudy (aroub):

mmm.. no yep i guess u made a mistake on distributing the last term or u didn't actually.. so try again and distribute the negative for the last term..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x9-2x8-8x7-5

OpenStudy (aroub):

no.. can u show me the steps? (so i could help u or show u the mistake that ur doing..)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I give up

OpenStudy (aroub):

lol why? ok ill show you..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suck at math LOL

OpenStudy (aroub):

=(-6x^9+2x^9)+(-4x^8+2x^8)+(-6x^7+2x^7)+(-8+3) =-4x^9-2x^8-4x^7-5 if u have any questions.. ask..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get the last 4^7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that answer is not on my quiz

OpenStudy (aroub):

i got it by subtracting 6 and 2 = 4 and 6 has a negative sign = -4x^7 ..

OpenStudy (aroub):

can u tell me the options (choices.. ) u have??

OpenStudy (aroub):

pleasee..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Other than the two i gave you here are the other two 8x^9-6x^8+4x^7-5 8x^9-6x^8+4x^7-11

OpenStudy (aroub):

hhmmm...

OpenStudy (aroub):

i guess there is something wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why ?

OpenStudy (aroub):

b/c i did this like more than 5 times im getting the same answer -4x^9-2x^8-4x^7-5 all u have to do is distribute.. add like terms.. u get the answer.. so im pretty sure there is something wrong. is it an online test or school homework or.. ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):
