@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: if we apply the distributive property at the second parenthesis, we can write this: \[3\Large {x^2} - x - 2 + 5{x^2} + 2x + 4 = ...?\] please simplify

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. I meant parentheses*

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

(3x^2+5x^2)+(-x+2x)+2+4

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: the first two terms are correct! for the third one, please note that we have \(-2+4\)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Why would +2 be -2?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

since the first polynomial, is: \[3{x^2} - x - 2\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so we have: \(-2+4=2\)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

alright

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

c

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!!
