solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry you cant solve for x, but you want to combine the "coefficients", which are the numbers in front of the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since all of those have the same exponent, you can pretend like its just: 0.4+0.6-0.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so youll end up with .8x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only if they are the same exponent though!
