What do you need help with?

anonymous · Answer

8-4x^2+10x^2+2x

accessdenied · Answer

You are just trying to simplify this?  Or simplify and find its factors?

im trying to answer the question

accessdenied · Answer

Uhm... can you post what the question asked then?

We can begin by combining like-terms here:
   8 - 4x^2 + 10x^2 + 2x
We have -4x^2 and 10x^2, so these add together by pulling out the x^2:  -4x^2+10x^2 = (10-4)x^2
   8 + (10-4)x^2 + 2x

anonymous · Answer

the answer choices is 
14x^2+2x+8
6x^2+10x
6x^2+2x+8
8x^3+8

accessdenied · Answer

Oh, okay.  That makes it more clear.
  10-4 = 6
  8 + 6x^2 + 2x    <--  you can see that by rearranging this, you have one of the answer choices?

can i see the work

accessdenied · Answer

Starting from:
   8 - 4x^2 + 10x^2 + 2x
We could rearrange the equation because addition is commutative:
   8 + 10x^2 - 4x^2 + 2x
Then add up the like terms,  10x^2 and -4x^2:
   8 + (10 - 4)x^2 + 2x
   8 + 6x^2  + 2x
Then re-order this from highest to lowest degree, which is one of the answer choices.  Once again, addition is commutative.  Does that seem clear?
