Question 920586: In math were doing 7th grade combining like terms. On my homework I got stuck on a question is that said 3m^2-2m+4m. Can you help me solve it. Since I don't have an option to put an exponet on my keyboard ^2 means 2 to the second power of you were wondering what that was in my equation. Thank you. I tried to circle all the coffenent and solve 2m+4m then do 3m^2-6m.

3m^2 - 2m + 4m is equal to 3m^2 + 2m (not 3m^2 - 6m).

3m^2 -2m + 4m the way you have it written would not be 3m^2 - 6m unless there was a parenthesis such as 3m^2 - (2m +4m). Instead we have to add -2m + 4m together to get 2m. Therefore your answer would be 3m^2 +2m. Thanks for the question. :)
