Question

Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form.

(2x² - 4x + 3) + (x² - 4x-4)
A. -8x-1+3x^2
B. 3x^2 - 8x - 1
C. x^2 - 8x - 7
D. -8x - 7+x^2​

Answer 1

B)

Explanation:

I solved it by setting it up as a normal addition problem:

`2x^(2) -4x+3\\+x^(2) -4x-4`

Simplify:

`3x^(2) -8x-1`
