Hello~

Just wanted to ask for some help.....PLZ AM BEGGING YOU TO HELP MEH-
(Thank you to everyone and anyone who helps ✿◡‿◡ )
Before the question it says "For questions 1 - 3, simplify the polynomial"
1. 14x^2 + 4 + 3x - 12x^2 - 3 + 11x
A. 2x^2 + 7x + 1
B. 2x^2 + 14x + 1
C. 2x^2 + 14x + 7
D. 26x^2 + 7x + 7
Plz helpppp.....I've been stuck on this question for a while now.....plz help me...
Is it B....???? (B is my answer)
- ❤~Mochi~❤

Yes. B is correct.

since addition is commutative, collect terms that have the same power of x:

14x^2 + 4 + 3x - 12x^2 - 3 + 11x
= 14x^2-12x^2 + 3x+11x + 4-3
= 2x^2 + 14x + 1

OMGGGG THANK YOUUUU ❤❤❤❤❤

I also wanted to ask on these two as well......if you don't mind...
2. 2x^2 + 8 - 4x + 3x - 6x^2 + 7
A. -8x^2 - 7x + 15
B. -4x^2 - x + 15
C. 4x^2 + x + 15
D. 8x^2 + 7x + 15

3. 2x^2 + 6x - 7x + 8 - 3x^2 + 1
A. 2x^2 + x + 9
B. -2x^2 - x - 9
C. -x^2 - x + 9
D. x^2 + 9

My answers:
2. B
3. C
These also have "simplify the polynomial" on top of them....

B,C are correct as well.

You got this.

Thank you @oobleck

Yes. Keep up the good work. Thanks for showing your answers.

Thank you @DrBob222

Is anyone still there??

In the expression -7x - 3x^2 + 5, what is the coefficient of x?
A. 7
B. 3
C. -3

My answer: D
Is it correct??
