Question

Simplify.
(6x – 5 + 4x2) + (2x - 2)

Answer 1

First, I would eliminate the parenthesis:

6x - 5 + $4x^{2}$ + 2x - 2

Then, you can combine like terms:

6x + 2x - 5 - 2 + $4x^2$

8x - 7 +$4x^{2}$

This is your answer, but you can rearrange it so the degrees are in order:

$4x^2$ + 8x - 7

Answer 2

(6x-5+4x2)+(2x-2)
6x+4x-3
10x-3
10x-3+2x-2
12x-3+-2
12x-5
