Question

Which of the following expressions represents the simplified version of the expression below

Answer 1

we have the expression

$(5x^3y^2-3xy+2)+(2x^3y^2-3x^2y^2+4xy-7)$

step 1

Combine like terms

so

$(5x^3y^2+2x^3y^2)+(-3xy+4xy)+(2-7))-3x^2y^2$$(7x^3y^2)+(xy)+(-5)-3x^2y^2$

therefore

the answer is the second option
