−(−6x2+3x2+8)+−1(−(7x2+5+6x2)−6x2)

OpenStudy (ageta):

−(−6x2+3x2+8)+−1(−(7x2+5+6x2))+−1(−6x2)

OpenStudy (ageta):

(−6x2+3x2+8)+13x2+5+6x2

Or why do we get rid of the brackets

OpenStudy (ageta):

so that is can be easy to solve

OpenStudy (ageta):

3x2+−8+13x2+5+6x2 =(3x2+13x2+6x2)+(−8+5) =22x2+−3

OpenStudy (g0thw1ng):

I got 22x2-3 did I do something wrong

OpenStudy (g3n3sis08):

(22x2)+(-3) is the same as (22x2)-3 .
