Question

What is the result of adding -3X exponent 2 - 5x + 1 from 8x-2X-9

Answer 1

Given the expressions:

$-3X^2-5X+1\text{ and 8}X^2-2X-9$

Let's add both expressions.

First set up the addition expression:

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

Remove the parentheses and combine like terms:

$\begin{gathered} -3X^2+8X^2-5X-2X+1-9 \\ \\ =5X^2-7X-8 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the result of adding both expressions is:

$undefined$
