Answer:

7 x^2 + 11 x + 8

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

4 x^2 + 3 x^2 + 6 x + 5 x - 1 + 9

Grouping like terms, 4 x^2 + 3 x^2 + 6 x + 5 x - 1 + 9 = (3 x^2 + 4 x^2) + (6 x + 5 x) + (-1 + 9):

(3 x^2 + 4 x^2) + (6 x + 5 x) + (-1 + 9)

3 x^2 + 4 x^2 = 7 x^2:

7 x^2 + (6 x + 5 x) + (-1 + 9)

6 x + 5 x = 11 x:

7 x^2 + 11 x + (-1 + 9)

9 - 1 = 8:

Answer: 7 x^2 + 11 x + 8
