Question

Noah and Audrey are simplifying the expression 5x-4+x+2, whos is wrong and why;

Noah: 5x - 4 + x + 2 = 5x - 2
Audrey: 5x - 4 + x + 2 = 6x - 2
Also write an Expression that contains three terms that is in simplest form. one of the terms should be a constant

Answer 1

5x - 4 + x + 2...combine like terms
6x - 2

Noah is wrong...he obviously forgot to add the x

write an expression that contains 3 terms : 6x^2 + 5x - 2
