Simplify the expression : 3x² + 9x + 10²+ 5y +(-11x)
I cant help you! So do you know where we can start?
What do you mean?
Where do you think we should begin with this problem?
I don't know....It's been so long since I solved these kind of questions. I was hoping to get help from here to remind me.
Okay! Well let's start with 10^2. 10^2 means 10x10 which is?
100
Perfect! So we now have: 3x² + 9x + 100+ 5y +(-11x) Let's group the common variables together. The only common variable is x, so: 3x² + 100 + 5y + 9x - 11x
What's 9x-11x?
-2
Close! We can't forget the 2x. 9x - 11x = -2x So that gives us: 3x² +100 + 5y - 2x Which is our final answer.
the answer choices are a) 13x²+ 2x - 5y b)13x² - 2x + 5y c)11x² + 5y d)15x² + 5y
Did you make a mistake in the original question? You put: 3x² + 9x + 10²+ 5y +(-11x)
I think it's supposed to be: 3x² + 9x + 10x²+ 5y +(-11x) which would make the answer b
oh my!!! I'm sorry!
How would I solve the question to get B as my answer?
Same approach! Put the common variables and add them together. What are our two common variables? 3x² + 9x + 10x²+ 5y +(-11x)
As said by @alexrobin13 you would first need to combine like terms... It seems as though you forgot x with `10^2` so lets make it as `10x^2`....so now we can combine like terms.... \(\huge{(3x^{2}+10x^{2})+(9x+(-11x))+5y}\)
13x² + 9x + (-11x) + 5y ?
