4x² - 16 is the algebraic expression that must be added to get the result as 9x²- 2x - 5.
Explanation:
The question is asked for the algebraic expression must be added to the sum of 3x²+4x+8 and 2x2−6x+3 to give 9x²- 2x - 5 as the result.
Therefore,
The first step is to find of sum of 3x²+4x+8 and 2x²-6x+3.
To find the sum :
3x²+4x+8
2x²-6x+3
5x²-2x+11
The sum is 5x²-2x+11.
Now, the second step is to subtract 5x²-2x+11 from the result 9x²- 2x - 5.
9x²- 2x - 5
- (5x²-2x+11)
4x² -16
Thus, 4x²-16 is the algebraic expression that must be added with 5x²-2x+11 to get a result of 9x²- 2x - 5.
