Medal Simplify 3x^2 +5x - 10x^2 - 10x

Nnesha (nnesha):

combine like terms :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

Nnesha (nnesha):

add coefficient of same variable with same exponent for example 3y^4 + 2y^4 you combine these two terms because both variables are same and same exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13x^2+15x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm

Nnesha (nnesha):

that's not right ;-;

@delgadojessica97 It is better to guide the user to an answer rather than doing all the work yourself. We discourage giving out answers without letting the asker at least take some part in the analysis - the aim of this site is to teach. Please refer to our code of conduct at http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct for more information. Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so can anyone guide me and help me how to get the right answer

Nnesha (nnesha):

add coefficient of same variable with same exponent

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

All we do is gather like terms and get \[(3x ^{2}-10x ^{2})+(5x-10)\]

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

So from that what do we do next @harz360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10x^2 -3x^2 + 5x +10x
