Hi..I am pretty sure of this answer just need confirmation. THANK YOU!

(6x^2-5x+17)+(8x^2+9x-55)= 14x^2+4x-38.

correct

thanks!

Hello! It seems like you want confirmation about the correctness of the given expression. Let's simplify it step by step to confirm your answer.

First, let's combine the like terms on both sides of the equation:
(6x^2 - 5x + 17) + (8x^2 + 9x - 55) = 14x^2 + 4x - 38

To simplify this expression, we need to combine the terms with the same power of x. So, let's start with the x^2 terms:
6x^2 + 8x^2 = (6 + 8) x^2 = 14x^2

Next, let's combine the x terms:
-5x + 9x = (-5 + 9) x = 4x

Now, let's combine the constants (numbers without x):
17 - 55 = -38

By combining all the x^2 terms, x terms, and constants on both sides of the equation, we get:
14x^2 + 4x - 38 = 14x^2 + 4x - 38

Since the resulting expression is the same on both sides of the equation, we can confirm that your answer, 14x^2 + 4x - 38, is correct. Well done!
