Question

Combine like terms to complete the equivalent expression. 5x^2 - 9x - 8x - 10x^2 - (2x^2 - 7x) - (7x - 4) - (-2x^2 - x) = 5x^2 - 9x - 8x - 10x^2 - (2x^2 - 7x) + (7x - 4) + (2x^2 + x)

SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

To combine like terms, first distribute the negative signs and then combine the coefficients of like terms:

Distribute the negative signs:
5x^2 - 9x - 8x - 10x^2 - 2x^2 + 7x + 7x - 4 + 2x^2 + x
Combine like terms:

x^2 terms: (5x^2 - 10x^2 - 2x^2 + 2x^2) = -5x^2
x terms: (-9x - 8x + 7x + 7x + x) = -2x
Constant terms: (-4) = -4

Final expression: -5x^2 - 2x - 4
