Question

Can someone walk me through how to solve this please
Show all work. ind the difference:
(6x2 + 8x + 1) – (-5x2 + x + 8)

Answer 1

perform the operations on like terms

Answer 2

so you have two terms with x2.

Answer 3

r u there?

Answer 4

So it would be 1x^2

Answer 5

I would do that for them all then after that how would I solve it. Sorry I'm just so confused with this all

Answer 6

no. 6x2-(-5x2)=6x2 +5x2

Answer 7

no problem --I will help

Answer 8

I keep forgetting that part. 11x2

Answer 9

All that the question is asking is to subtract like terms. there is no solution beyond that.

Answer 10

Oh ok, I understand now. Thanks so much :)

Answer 11

So the answer is 11x62 + 7x + (-7) correct?

Answer 12

(6x2 + 8x + 1) – (-5x2 + x + 8)
6x^2+8x+1+5x^2-x-8
11x^2+7x-7

Answer 13

so it would be minus 7 and not plus negative 7

Answer 14

correct

Answer 15

So here's a stupid question. Why would I drop the plus on the last part?
