Choose the correct simplification of (4a2 + 9a − 5) + (6a2 − 5). 10a2 + 9a <---- my answer (correct?) 10a2 + 9a − 10 −2a2 + 9a −2a2 + 9a − 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's a positive times a negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what's \[1*-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (raden):

just open all brackets and combine the similar terms. 4a^2 + 6a^2 = 10a^2 9a still 9a - 5 - 5 = -10 then add up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what's -5 -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):
