Question 38310: Please help! I am helping my daughter review for a test from a review guide. not having a formula to check answers I'm not sure if she did it correctly here is one of the problems.
combining like terms and write in standard form
(4xthird power+2x-3xsq+1)+(2xthird pr-5x+2)

I came up w/ 6third power-3xsq+7x+3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You're close. (4x^3+2x-3x^2+1)+(2x^3-5x+2)=6x^3-3x^2-3x+3. Be careful with signs- it looks like you did 2x+5x, instead of 2x-5x.
