Yggdrasil:

I'm not understanding the question?

jelly1234:

its really confusing

Yggdrasil:

the wording is.

Yggdrasil:

are these simultaneous equations?

jelly1234:

theyre adding and subtraction operations

jelly1234:

they have exponents

Yggdrasil:

where?

jelly1234:

the x 2

jelly1234:

on the second equation

Yggdrasil:

so it's x^2?

jelly1234:

yes

Yggdrasil:

put that in the question then..

jelly1234:

so just that

Yggdrasil:

i guess

jelly1234:

ok thanks!

Yggdrasil:

are we trying to find a value of x that makes both expressions equal the same thing?

jelly1234:

Click an item in the list or group of pictures at the bottom of the problem and, holding the button down, drag it into the correct position in the answer box. Release your mouse button when the item is place. If you change your mind, drag the item to the trashcan. Click the trashcan to clear all your answers. Perform the operation indicated, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write your answer in descending powers of x. What must be added to 3x -7 to make x 2 + 4x -1?

jelly1234:

this is what its askinh

jelly1234:

jelly1234:

yes theres a similar one im going to try that one thanku sm

It's a subtraction problem. To find what must be added to \(3x - 7\) to make \(x^2 + 4x - 1\) you perform the opposite of addition. In other words find the difference of \(\boxed{x^2 + 4x - 1}\) AND \(\boxed{3x - 7}\)
