Question

Assume you’ve arrived at this solution: (4x^2 + 8x + 15) + (x^2 − x − 27) − (x^2 − 2x − 35) Going from left to right, what will be the next step to simplify this expression? Perform the step, and show your work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To simplify, we group all like terms by addition and subtraction

4x^2+8x+15+x^2-x-27-x^2+2x+35

4x^2+9x+23
