Trinomial?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, find the sum. That's how the problem is wrote out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so it looks like you're going to add like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3a^2, 6a^2, and 2a^2 are all like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add those up, as well as the other like terms you see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11a^2 so A and B are out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now there's -6a and -a. Add them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Righto!
