Question

Simplify the expression: -3(x^2+2x)-5x(2x-3)

Answer 1

distribute first

Answer 2

whatever is outside the parenthesis then simplify it further
You can only combine like terms. Keep that in mind!

Answer 3

\[-3x ^{2}-6x-10x+15x\]

Answer 4

Now simplify by adding like terms (-6x, -10x, 15x)

Answer 5

so it is -3x^2 minus 1x ?

Answer 6

yup!

Answer 7

ok (: is there anything next or is that simplified?

Answer 8

It's simplified because the -3x can't be subtracted from 1x because it has the exponent of two attached to it

Answer 9

thought so (: thank youu!
