Question

What is the missing term? (10x – 4x2) – (7x + mc023-1.jpg) = 3x – 6x2

Answer 1

`\text{The missing term is }2x^2`

Explanation:

Given the expression

`(10x-4x^2)-(7x+missing\thinspace term)=3x-6x^2`

we have to find the missing term.

`(10x-4x^2)-(7x+missing\thinspace term)=3x-6x^2`

`10x-4x^2-7x-missing\thinspace term=3x-6x^2`

`\text{Adding }4x^2\text{from both sides}`

`10x-7x-missing\thinspace term=3x-6x^2+4x^2`

`3x-missing\thinspace term=3x-2x^2`

`missing\thinspace term=2x^2`

`\text{Hence, the missing term is }2x^2`
