1. To simplify the expression 16x^2 + 2 + 2x - 15x^2 - 1 + 14x, combine like terms:

16x^2 - 15x^2 + 2x + 14x + 2 - 1

This can be simplified further as:
x^2 + 16x + 1

So the correct answer is c. x^2 + 16x + 1.

2. Simplifying the expression 3x^2 + 6 - 2x + 5x - 4^2 + 9, combine like terms:
3x^2 - 2x + 5x + 6 - 16 + 9

This can be simplified further as:
3x^2 + 3x - 1

So the correct answer is a. -x^2 + 3x + 15.

3. Simplifying the expression 2x^2 + 6x - 7x + 8 - 3x^2 + 1, combine like terms:
2x^2 - 3x^2 + 6x - 7x + 8 + 1

This can be simplified further as:
-x^2 - x + 9

So the correct answer is c. -x^2 - x + 9.

To simplify these expressions, we need to combine like terms by combining the coefficients of the same variables.

1. 16x^2 + 2 + 2x - 15x^2 - 1 + 14x
To simplify this expression, we start by combining the terms with x^2, which are 16x^2 and -15x^2. The sum of these terms is x^2.
Next, we combine the terms with x, which are 2x and 14x. The sum of these terms is 16x.
Finally, we combine the constant terms, which are 2 and -1. The sum of these terms is 1.
Therefore, the simplified expression is x^2 + 16x + 1.
So the correct answer is c. x^2 + 16x + 1.

2. 3x^2 + 6 - 2x + 5x - 4^2 + 9
To simplify this expression, we start by combining the terms with x^2, which is 3x^2.
Next, we combine the terms with x, which are -2x and 5x. The sum of these terms is 3x.
Next, we combine the constant terms, which are 6, -4^2 (which is -16), and 9. The sum of these terms is -1.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 3x^2 + 3x - 1.
So the correct answer is a. -x^2 + 3x + 15.

3. 2x^2 + 6x - 7x + 8 - 3x^2 + 1
To simplify this expression, we start by combining the terms with x^2, which are 2x^2 and -3x^2. The sum of these terms is -x^2.
Next, we combine the terms with x, which are 6x, -7x, and -3x. The sum of these terms is -4x.
Finally, we combine the constant terms, which are 8 and 1. The sum of these terms is 9.
Therefore, the simplified expression is -x^2 - 4x + 9.
So the correct answer is c. -x^2 - x + 9.

Your answers are correct.
