Question

Simplify.
−x2+2y−3x2+10

Answer 1

(2 (y - 2 x^2 + 5))

Answer 2

(2 (y - 2 x^2 + 5))

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

2 y - x^2 - 3 x^2 + 10

Grouping like terms, 2 y - x^2 - 3 x^2 + 10 = 2 y + (-x^2 - 3 x^2) + 10:

2 y + (-x^2 - 3 x^2) + 10

-x^2 - 3 x^2 = -4 x^2:

2 y + -4 x^2 + 10

Factor 2 out of 2 y - 4 x^2 + 10:

Answer: (2 (y - 2 x^2 + 5))
