Question

What is the result of adding -3X exponent 2 - 5x + 1 from 8x-2X-9

Answer 1

Given the expressions:

`-3X^2-5X+1\text{ and 8}X^2-2X-9`

Let's add both expressions.

First set up the addition expression:

`(-3X^2-5X+1)+(8X^2-2X-9)`

Remove the parentheses and combine like terms:

`\begin{gathered} -3X^2+8X^2-5X-2X+1-9 \\ \\ =5X^2-7X-8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the result of adding both expressions is:
