simplify the polynomial.
1. 3x^2 + 6 – 2x + 5x – 4x^2 + 9
–x^2 + 3x + 15
7x^2 + 3x + 3
x^2 – 3x + 15
–x^2 + 7x + 15
2. 2x^2 + 6x – 7x + 8 – 3x^2 + 1
2x^2 + x + 9
–2x^2 – x – 9
–x^2 – x + 9
x^2 + 9

Hint : Combine Like terms.
mathslover (mathslover):
3x^2 + 6 – 2x + 5x – 4x^2 + 9
\(3x^2 - 4x^2 + 6 + 9 -2x + 5x\)
Simplify it then,can yo?

Can you help @Euler271
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what mathslover is doing is the correct approach.
you can add the coefficients of the x's of the same order
2x^2 + 3x -2x^2 - 2x = x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
coefficients being the number in front
3x^2 - 4x^2 = (3 - 4)x^2

combine you x^2's....then combine your x's...then combine your numbers.....do not try and combine x^2 with x or a number with x^2.....now you try
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x+5x=7x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6+9=15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
combining x^2
-x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so together it would be –x^2 + 7x + 15

can anybody tell me if this is correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then for the second question
OpenStudy (mertsj):
-2x+5x= what?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
if you have 5 dollars and spend 2 dollars you now have 7 dollars?????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 3x

Then rethink your answer for number 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
–x^2 + 3x + 15
OpenStudy (mertsj):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't get the second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I know it is not B

It is the same as the first one....add the like terms
OpenStudy (anonymous):
–x^2 – x + 9?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
yes. good job
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thx!!
