Hey there!


\bold{(3x^2 + 2x + 7x^3)+(10x^2 + 6x + 9)}

Firstly, combine your like terms


  1. \bold{3x^2,10x^2}

  2. \bold{2x,6x}

  3. \bold{7x^3}

  4. \bold{9}

  • \bold{7x^3*(3x^2+10x^2)+(2x+6x)+(9)}

  • \bold{3x^2+10x^2=13x^3}

  • 2x+6x=8x

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:A)7x^3+13x^2+8x+9}}}
    \checkmark

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
