Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Simplify the given polynomial and use it to complete the statement.


The polynomial simplifies to an expression that is a BLANK with a BLANK degree of BLANK .

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the parenthesis, expand the pair of factors and collect like terms.

8x² - 5x - 7 - 9x² + 3x + 5 + x² + 8x + 7 ← collect like terms

= 6x + 5

Which is a linear expression of degree 1

Answer 2

Answer:

(A) Linear

(B) Binomial

(C) Degree=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$(8x^2-5x-7)-(9x^2-3x-5)+(x+7)(x+1)$

Upon simplifying the above equation, we get

$8x^2-5x-7-9x^2+3x+5+(x^2+7x+x+7)$

$8x^2-5x-7-9x^2+3x+5+x^2+8x+7$

Rewriting the expression by writing the like terms together, we have

$8x^2-9x^2+x^2-5x+3x+8x-7+5+7$

Solving the like terms, we get

$6x+5$

Now, the obtained expression is:

(A) Linear

(B) Binomial

(C) Degree=1
