Question

Simplify the expression below and write the answer in standard form.5x2 + 12x - (11x + 8) + 2

Answer 1

They ask us to simplify the following expression to its standard form:

`\begin{gathered} 5x^2\:+\:12x\:-\:\left(11x\:+\:8\right)\:+\:2 \\ 5x^2\: +\: 12x\: -\: 11x\: -\: 8\: +\: 2 \\ 5x^2\: +\: x\: -\: 6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the standar form would be:

`5x^2\: +\: x\: -\: 6`
