Remove the parenthesis and combine like terms

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You can remove the parenthesis because you're adding the two groups

so 7x^2-1x_15 ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

6x^2 combined with -x^2 is not 7x^2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

-4x combined with -3x is not -1x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there's nothing to combine with the 11, so it just stays as 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

give it another shot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um 5x^2-7x+15

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh my bad, I thought 11 didn't combine with anything but I missed the 4 lol yes the final answer is 5x^2 - 7x + 15

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
