Question

Simplify.

7y – x2 + 3x −17x – 5y + 2x2

A.
−13x2 + 1y

B.
x2 – 14x + 2y

C.
2x2 – 12xy

D.
3x2 + 20x + 12y

Answer 1

first, you would rearrange the equation so that like terms were next to each other.

7y - 5y - x2 + 2x2 +3x - 17x

then you would reduce the equation based on like terms

2y + x2 - 14x

then simply rearrange the equation to get the answer, which is B
