Simplify the following expression. 2x - 4y + 3x2 + 7y - 16x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large 2x - 4y + 3x2 + 7y - 16x\] correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its supposed to be 3x to the power of 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large 2x - 4y + 3x^2 + 7y - 16x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well first you would combine hte like terms (2x) and (-16x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-14x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and now for the like terms of y (-4y) and (7y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so now you got -3x+4y+3x^2, you can't combine anythying else, so you're done! Good work, I'll even give you a medal :)
