Question

Drag the black dots to move the like terms next to each other. Then simplify the expression. 5x^2+3x-8+x^2-2x+4

Answer 1

The question is given to be:

$5x^2+3x-8+x^2-2x+4$

The common terms are shown below:

$\begin{gathered} x^2\Rightarrow5x^2,x^2 \\ x\Rightarrow3x,-2x \\ Cons\tan t\Rightarrow-8,4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the arranged expression will be:

$\Rightarrow5x^2+x^2+3x-2x-8+4$

The simplified expression will then become:

$\Rightarrow6x^2+x-4$
