-4x + 6x^2 + 5x
Please help me
my choices are
A) 7x^3
B) 6x^2 - 9x
C) 6x^2 - 9x
D) 6x^2 + x
well, 5x-4x = x, so what do you think?
So D?
looks good to me
Okay! Thank you!
Of course! To simplify the expression -4x + 6x^2 + 5x, you need to combine like terms.
First, let's identify the like terms. Like terms have the same variable raised to the same power.
In this expression, we have three terms: -4x, 6x^2, and 5x.
Since -4x and 5x have the same variable (x) raised to the first power, they can be combined.
-4x + 5x = (6 -4 + 5)x = 7x.
Now we have 7x + 6x^2. Since these terms have different variables or different powers of the same variable, they cannot be combined any further.
Hence, the simplified form of the expression -4x + 6x^2 + 5x is 6x^2 + 7x.
