Question

Simplify
-4x^2-3x-(x-x^2+3)

Answer 1

\[-4x^2-3x-(x-x^2+3)\]
distribute the - ( )
\[-4x^2-3x-x+x^2-3\]
then combine like terms.

ok so far?

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

\[−4x^2−3x−x+x^2−3\]
move ones of similar exponents next to each other
\[−4x^2+x^2−3x−x−3\]
then combine them
is this what you arrived at?
\[−3x^2−4x−3\]
