4w ²+7w-7+5w²-6

OpenStudy (selena2345):

@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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (selena2345):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
