Question

Drag the black dots to move the like terms next to each other. Then simplify the expression. 5x^2+3x-8+x^2-2x+4

Answer 1

The question is given to be:

`5x^2+3x-8+x^2-2x+4`

The common terms are shown below:

`\begin{gathered} x^2\Rightarrow5x^2,x^2 \\ x\Rightarrow3x,-2x \\ Cons\tan t\Rightarrow-8,4 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the arranged expression will be:

`\Rightarrow5x^2+x^2+3x-2x-8+4`

The simplified expression will then become:

`\Rightarrow6x^2+x-4`
