Subtract \[9x^2y^2 - 6x^2- 3 \] from the sum of \[-5x^2y^2 - 3x^2 - 7\] and \[4x^2y^2 + 8x^2 - 8\]. The resulting polynomial is:
OpenStudy (trisaba):
they all are like terms
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, but how can I get a simplified answer. It wants me to Simply my answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Simplify my answer sorry**
OpenStudy (trisaba):
i know

when you subtract a negative do you add or subtract?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You add correct?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so what do I do next then? I am completly confused on this stuff.
OpenStudy (trisaba):
-5x^2 y^2 + 4x^2 y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is that my answer?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so do I combine like terms next?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
yes
OpenStudy (trisaba):
what did you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[9x^2 + y^2\] ?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
no what is -5x^2 y^2+ 4x^2 y^2
OpenStudy (trisaba):
just add
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-1x^2 + y^2\] ?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
\[-1x^{2}y ^{2}\] not that

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-1x^4 + y^4\] ??
OpenStudy (trisaba):
no that should have been your answer what i said
now do \[9x ^{2}y ^{2}- -x ^{2}y ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (trisaba):
we said double negative was addition
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[8x^2y^2\] ? Is this right?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
wrong when you subtract a negative you add the opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok then what should it be?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I tried sorry
OpenStudy (trisaba):
it should be \[10x ^{2}y ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (trisaba):
that is the first part now do \[-3x ^{2}+8x ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is 10x^2y^2 my simplified answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so simplify -3x^2 + 8x^2?
OpenStudy (trisaba):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[5x^2?\]
OpenStudy (trisaba):
correct now do \[-6x ^{2}+5x ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-x^2\]

OpenStudy (trisaba):
correct so so far we have \[10x ^{2}y ^{2}-x\] now do \[-7+( -8)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-15
OpenStudy (trisaba):
right now do \[-3-(-15)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12
OpenStudy (trisaba):
write so your final answer should be \[10x ^{2}y ^{2}-x +12\]
