how do you simplify and combine like terms for this
4(x+5)+3x squared+6(x+1)
4(x+5)+3x squared+6(x+1)
4(x + 5) + 3x^2 + 6(x + 1)
(^n represents ...to the power of n)
First, distribute 4(x + 5) and 6(x + 1):
4x + 20 + 3x^2 + 6x + 6
Then combine like terms 4x and 6x; 20 and 6:
_______________
|10x + 26 + 3x^2|
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Which, to my knowledge, cannot be further simplified.
