Question

Simplify the expression 2. 4x 2 + 5y - 3+2y – 2x² - 6

Answer 1

Given the expression

`4x^2+5y-3+2y-2x^2-6`

To simplify the expression you have to arrange the terms form greatest to least and like terms together:

`4x^2-2x^2+5y+2y-3-6`

Next is to solve the operations between the like terms

`\begin{gathered} (4x^2-2x^2)+(5y+2y)+(-3-6) \\ 2x^2+7y-9 \end{gathered}`

So the simplified form of the expression is

`2x^2+7y-9`
