5x%2B5%2Fx-2%2A2x%5E2-8x%2B8%2Fx%5E2-1
Using the order of operations:
there are no parentheses
there are no exponents to work
multiplication/division occurs from left to right (multiply 2x%5E2 by 2):
5x%2B5%2Fx-4x%5E2-8x%2B8%2Fx%5E2-1
Addition subtraction occurs from left to right (Combine the x terms):
-3x%2B5%2Fx-4x%5E2%2B8%2Fx%5E2-1
Then just put it in descending degree order:
-4x%5E2-3x%2B5%2Fx%2B8%2Fx%5E2-1
