OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, like 3x + 6x + 3x - 5x?

OpenStudy (twopointinfinity):

uh.. no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try distributing through the parenthesis

OpenStudy (twopointinfinity):

Can you help us out math? I got lost in my morning breakfast @mathmale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

distributing through the parenthesis gives us : 3x^2 + 3 -6x - 4 + 3x^2 - 5x --- combine like terms 6x^2 - 11x - 1
