@xapproachesinfinity
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
okay
so we need to add like terms!
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
\(4w^2~with ~5w^2~ and ~ 7w ~has~no~company~ we ~go ~to~-7~ goes~with~-6\)
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
what is 4w^2+5w^2
think about it this way
4 chairs + 5 chairs so how many chairs i got
OpenStudy (selena2345):
9

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
right! so we have 9w^2
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
what is -7-6?
OpenStudy (selena2345):
-13
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
correct!
now we have everything \(9w^2-7w-13\)
we cannot do anything to -7w thiis has no like term with it
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
this is as far as you go for simplifying this

Pop it in the blender so you get two answers or real roots.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If the equation doesn't have real roots, you get the equation @xapproachesinfinity gave.
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
she is not looking for roots so don't confuse her
i think she just started working this
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
Do you get it @Selena2345
OpenStudy (selena2345):
whats the answer ? @xapproachesinfinity

I'm not confusing her, I'm just saying. @Selena2345 , disregard whatever I wrote.
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
the answer is \(9w^2-7w-13\)
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you just add like terms and simplify that's all
OpenStudy (selena2345):
16w-13
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
why?

what
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you can't add 9w^2 to -7w there two different quantities
see that they have different powers
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
they will stay that way \(9w^2-7w-13\) you can't do more than this!
OpenStudy (selena2345):
the answer is -13
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
No! the answer is an expression
this \(9w^2-7w-13\) do you see what i'm saying

What @xapproachesinfinity said x1000 times. What's the answer in the book?
