\[x^2-9 x-5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.) add -4x + -5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i got -9x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah so , look at my second post. is ur question like that {its the first equation} and the answer we got is the second one

well u might be able to factor \[x^2 - 9x - 5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its not factorable
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then that would be the simplified form :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u cant simplify it either
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^2−4x−5x−5\]
is simplified to
\[x^2−9x−5\]
