Question

Simplify the polynomials.
(12x2 + 3xy − x2 + y2)

Answer 1

The answer is

→
`11x^2+3xy+y^2`

Explanation:

Since were being asked to simplify, then that's what we should do.

`12x^2+3xy-x^2+y^2`

`=12x^2+3xy+-x^2+y^2`

Let's combine like terms.

`=12x^2+3xy+-x^2+y^2`

`=(12x^2+-x^2)+(3xy)+(y^2)`

`=11x^2+3xy+y^2`

Therefore,
`11x^2+3xy+y^2` is your final simplifed answer.

Hope this helped! :^)

Answer 2

12x2 + 3xy - x2 + y2
= 11x2 + 3xy + y2
