(-5a^3-4a^2+10)-(3a^3+5a^2-3a-1)+(-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2)
Its getting harder
\[(-5a^3-4a^2+10)-(3a^3+5a^2-3a-1)+(-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2)\] Look at: \[-(3a^3+5a^2-3a-1)\] Because there is a negative sign in front, all the symbols inside change. So change all the symbols for me, hun.
(5a^3+4a^2-10)+(3a^3-5a^2-3a+1)-(5a^3+6a^2-3a+2)
Look at it again: \[(-5a^3-4a^2+10)-(3a^3+5a^2-3a-1)+(-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2)\] There is only one negative sign in front of a set of parenthesis. ONLY the set in front of the negative sign changes.
(5a^3+4a^2-10)+(3a^3+5a^2-3a-1)+(-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2)
Wait sorry
Wait im right. Right?
\[(-5a^3-4a^2+10) + (-3a^3- 5a^2 + 3a + 1)+(-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2)\] ONLY the terms INSIDE the parenthesis that the NEGATIVE SIGN is IN FRONT of change. For example: \[(x + y) - (z - c) = (z + y) + (-z + c)\]
yeah its right
Now look how I changed \[-(3a^3 + 5a^2 - 3a - 1) = + (-3a^3 - 5a^2 + 3a + 1)\]
So now, go back to the original expression: \[(-5a^3-4a^2+10) + (-3a^3- 5a^2+3a+1)+(-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2)\] Remove parenthesis: \[-5a^3-4a^2+10 -3a^3- 5a^2+3a+1-5a^3-6a^2+3a-2\] Add like terms.
13a^3+15a^2+6a+9
Am i correct
You made one mistake. \[13a^3-15a^2+6a+9\] Minus fifteen NOT plus fifteen.
Im getting closer
Hold on. It says that the answer is wrong
Yes! You're getting good! Soon, you'll be teaching me! Remember, to always give someone who you found helpful a medal.
I am doing an online homework and it gives me two chances. I put the answer and it says its wrong
Impossible. I just ran it through a math-solver to check. It even said my solution was correct.
Thats odd
I got the answer wrong it says it was -13
-13? Huh? That doesn't even make sense. Ar you sure it said, "simplify," the answer?
yes
You should report it to your teacher.
Can you help me with this last one (4w^2+6wd-4d^2)-(8w^2-4wd+18d^2)
I did it but i got 12w^2-10wd+22d^2
I did what you told me to change the signs from the parenthesis before the negative sign
I'm busy. I'll just give you the answer since you're eager to learn. \[-22d^2 + 10dw - 4w^2\]
thank you
Wow i was way off but ill find out how you got it.
wait isnt it the other way around
isnt it -4w^2+10dw-22d^2
The formation isn't important unless the lesson ays-so.
