Question

Simplify the expression by combining like

terms. Write the terms from the highest to the
lowest power of the variable.
7b^2- b + 3b + 6 - 3b^2+ 5 + 2b^2+ 7b

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

First we combine your first set of terms,

7b^2 + 2b^2 = 9b^2

There's a subtraction hidden in there!

9b^2 - 3b^2 = 6b^2

Next we do the same thing for the second term,

3b + 7b = 10b

but there's a subtraction in the expression!

10b - b = 9b

Then we finish with our third term

6 + 5 = 11

Answer:

6b^2 + 9b + 11
