Question

7x²-2-3x²
I’m trying to combine like terms

Answer 1

4x^2−2

Explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

7x^2−2−3x^2

=7x^2+(−2)+(−3x^2)

Combine Like Terms:

=7x^2(+−2)+(−3x^2)

=(7x^2+(−3x^2))+(−2)

=4x^2+−2

Answer:

=4x2−2

Answer 2

Combine 7x² and -3x² to get 4x² because 7-3=4
Final answer if you’re trying to simplify is 4x²-2 because you can’t combine any further.
