Hi there!
a. 8x^2 - 1
(x^2 - 4x + 5) + (7x^2 + 4x - 6)
= x^2 + 7x^2 - 4x + 4x - 1
= 8x^2 - 1
b. 5x^2 + 7x - 7
(7x^2 + 4x - 6) - (2x^2 - 3x + 1)
= 7x^2 + 4x - 6 - 2x^2 + 3x - 1
= 7x^2 - 2x^2 + 4x + 3x - 6 - 1
= 5x^2 + 7x -7
Hope this helps!
If I did my math correctly I believe your answer will be C. :)
