Question 110483: I know it says one problem per submition but this algebra question involves 2.
Simplify each of the following.
A) (4xSQUARED+2x+1)+(x-8)
B) (3xSQUARED-x+7)-(2xSQUARED-x+1)
Please Help Me If You Cannot do both can you please do atleast one i would greatly appreciate you doing both they're in the same question THANK YOU!!!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

A) %284x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%29%2B%28x-8%29 get rid of parens (distributive law)
4x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%2Bx-8 collect like terms
4x%5E2%2B3x-7 this can be factored
%284x%2B7%29%28x-1%29
B) %283x%5E2-x%2B7%29-%282x%5E2-x%2B1%29 get rid of parens
3x%5E2-x%2B7-2x%5E2%2Bx-1 collect like terms
x%5E2%2B6
