Algebra.Com's Answer #139898 by uday1435(57)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here we have to add (4x^2 + 3x -1 ) and (3x^2 -1) \n" ); document.write( "We can add up only the coefficients of the like terms \n" ); document.write( "Which means \n" ); document.write( "(4x^2 + 3x -1 ) + (3x^2 -1) = (4+3) x^2 +3x (–1 – 1) = 7x^2 + 3x -2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We need to subtract this (7x^2 + 3x -2) from (8x^2 –5x +2) \n" ); document.write( "Let us do that we need to change the signs (shown in red) of all terms in (7x^2 + 3x -2) \n" ); document.write( "(8x^2 –5x +2) - (7x^2 + 3x -2) = 8^2 –5x +2 – 7x^2 – 3x+2 \n" ); document.write( "= (8- 7)x^2 (- 5 – 3)x (+2+2) = x^2 – 8x + 4 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
