"How to do 3x2+8x-3+x-x2 Adding and subtracting" involves "order of operations" rules. Have you encountered these rules before? As applied to your "How to do 3x2+8x-3+x-x2 Adding and subtracting" the rules are simple: exponentiation is done first; multiplication second; and addition or subtraction third. But first, please explain clearly what you mean by "how to do ... " Do what?

But what do you mean by "solve it?" I'm serious. We both need to know what we're looking for. From where do you bring this problem to OpenStudy?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

In the absence of specific instructions with "How to do 3x2+8x-3+x-x2 Adding and subtracting" all I can tell you at this point is that you can "combine like terms." This means that you can combine the x^2 terms, the x terms and the constant terms. Combine: 3x^2 - x^2. Your answer?

Combine: 3x^2 - x^2. Your answer?
