Question

4x^(2)-3xy+5y^(2)+10xy-17y^(2)-11x^(2)-5xy+12x^(2)-2xy i need work shown step by step

Answer 1

Pair like terms then do simple math.

Like (4x^2 -11x^2) - (3xy+10xy-5xy-2xY) and so on

Answer 2

you can add together the coefficients of terms that have the same "variable composition" as the best way i can put it
e.g. "4x^2" can be added to "-11x^2" to get -7x^2, but you can't add "4x^2" and "5y^2" because they don't have the same variables

Answer 3

i need work shown step by step

Answer 4

shouldn't you try the problem instead? we're here to help you get the answer, not give it to you! :(

Answer 5

(4x^2 -11x^2+12x^2) - (3xy+10xy-5xy-2xy) + (5y^2-17y^2)


Can you get it from here?

Answer 6

Thanks...is the answer 5x^2-12y^2? Should there be another step before the answer?

Answer 7

That should be it.

Answer 8

thank you.
