Question

Directions: Simplify each algebraic expression by combining like terms.
1. 7x2 – 5x + 10x - 8x?
2.-6a3 + 5a3 + 2a? - a?
3. - 4(x + 5) – 5(x - 1)
4. -a + 5b - 6a + 5(a + 1)
5. 18x4 - 3x3 - 2x3 + x2 - 10 + 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 7x^2-5x+10x-8x=7x^2+5x-8x=7x^2-3x

2) -6a^3+5a^3+2a-a=-a^3+2a-a=-a^3+a

3) -4(x+5)-5(x-1)=-4x-20-5x+5=-9x-20+5=-9x-15

4) -a+5b-6a+5(a+1)=-7a+5b+5a+5=-2a+5b+5

5) 18x^4-3x^3-2x^3+x^2-10+6

=18x^4-5x^3+x^2-4
