Question

Which expression can be used to find the sum of the polynomials? (9 – 3x2) + (–8x2 + 4x + 5)

Answer 1

Answer:

- 11x² + 4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(9 - 3x²) + (- 8x² + 4x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis by 1

= 9 - 3x² - 8x² + 4x + 5 ← collect like terms

= - 11x² + 4x + 14 ← sum of the polynomials
