Answer :

(a)
10x^2+2x-12

(b)
14x^2+7x-41

Step-by-step explanation :

Part a:

The given expression is:


(-2x^2-4x+13)+(12x^2+2x-25)

First we have to open the brackets.


-2x^2-4x+13+12x^2+2x-25

Now adding or subtracting like terms like (x², x and number)


10x^2+2x-12

Part b:

The given expression is:


(7x^2+4x-26)-(-7x^2-3x+15)

First we have to open the brackets.


7x^2+4x-26-+7x^2+3x-15

Now adding or subtracting like terms like (x², x and number)


14x^2+7x-41
