Question 668276
how do i simplify (-2x^3+3x^2-5x)+2x(x^2-2x+5)
....
Distribute the 2x
{{{(-2x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x) + 2x(x^2) - 2x(2x) + 2x(5)}}}
to get
{{{(-2x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x) + 2x^3 - 4x^2 + 10x}}}
...
Combine like terms
{{{cross(-2x^3) + cross(2x^3) + 3x^2 - 4x^2 - 5x + 10x}}}
to get
{{{highlight_green(-x^2 + 5x)}}} = {{{highlight_green(-x(x - 5))}}}
