Question 185986: I realize some of these look easy but when you haven't had algebra for so long it looks hard to me/ I also appreciate your help, without you guys I would be Sc-----. WE ARE TO MULTIPLY AND/OR SIMPLIFY
(2X^2 - X -2)-(X^2 + 2)
Answer by joecbaseball(37) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(2x^2 - x - 2) - (x^2 + 2)
This is just an addition problem that can be simplified by distributing the negative sign throughout the second parentheses:
Rewrite as:
2x^2 - x - 2 - x^2 - 2, and add "like" terms. This will give you:
x^2 - x - 4.
Good luck.
