Question

Simplify
-4x+2x2-x2+5-3x

Answer 1

9 - 7x - x²

Explanation:

-4x+2x2-x²+5-3x = -4x-3x+2x2+5-x²

I arranged the like terms together so it is easier to do the calculations.

-4x-3x+2x2+5-x² = -7x+4+5-x²

Simplify.

-7x+4+5-x² = 9-7x-x²

Answer 2

`x^(2) -7x+5`

Explanation:

First, organize it by highest degrees:
`2x^(2) -x^(2) -4x-3x+5`

Then combine like terms:
`x^(2) -7x+5`
