Answer:

Leading coefficient: -22

Degree: 2

Explanation:

The given polynomial is:

-10v-18+v²-23v²

solving like terms, we get

-22v² - 10v - 18

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. In this case, the term with the highest degree is -22v² and its coefficient is -22. Therefore, the leading coefficient is -22.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. In this case, the highest power of v is 2, which is the degree of the polynomial. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 2.
