Could someone help? Its on connections math test unit 6 lesson 7
14x2+4+3x-12x2-3+11x
if you just want to simplify it, add like terms:
(14-12)x^2 + (3+11)x + (4-3)
2x^2 + 14x + 1
Of course, I can help you with that! It looks like you have a polynomial expression that you need to simplify. To simplify this expression, we can combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
Let's break down the expression and group the like terms together:
14x^2 - 12x^2 + 4 + 3x + 11x - 3
First, let's combine the x^2 terms:
(14x^2 - 12x^2) + 4 + 3x + 11x - 3
Now, subtract the coefficients of x^2:
(14 - 12)x^2 + 4 + 3x + 11x - 3
Simplify the x^2 terms:
2x^2 + 4 + 3x + 11x - 3
Next, combine the x terms:
(3x + 11x) + 2x^2 + 4 - 3
Add the coefficients of x:
14x + 2x^2 + 4 - 3
Simplify the x terms:
16x + 2x^2 + 1
So, the simplified form of the expression 14x^2 + 4 + 3x - 12x^2 - 3 + 11x is 2x^2 + 16x + 1.
