Add and simplify. (2x - y - 2z - 6) + (-6x + 4y + 3z + 8) A. -4x + 3y + z + 2 B. 4x - 3y - z + 2 C. -4x + 3y - z - 2 D. 4x - 3y + z + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea, which is why i asked the question in the first place.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to add and simplify polynomials?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doubt it.

OpenStudy (andrewishere):

-4x+3y+z+2

OpenStudy (shootingstar28):

No direct answers please.

OpenStudy (andrewishere):

So its A Just add all like terms together. Its like grouping. Wold you like me to explain further?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^that should help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't know that. Someone gave a direct answer. That doesn't mean it's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wolfram Alpha is a math-based tool, and it's not just for math either.

OpenStudy (andrewishere):

Start with original question: (2x - y - 2z - 6) + (-6x + 4y + 3z + 8) Now group: All numbers with x go together, all numbers with y go together, all numbers with z go together, and the other two numbers with no letters go together. Lets start with numbers with x: 2x-6x= -4x Now with numbers with y: -y+4y= +3y Now numbers with z: -2z+3z= +z Now the numbers without letters: -6+8= +2 Now combine the answers and you get -4x+3y+z+2 Which is choice A

do you have to make an account?

OpenStudy (andrewishere):
