Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Binomial: 2 terms
- Trinomial: 3 terms
- Linear: a straight line
- Quadratic: like a curved line
(3x + 2) - (x + 5)
1(3x + 2) - 1(x + 5)
3x + 2 - x - 5 <== combine like terms
3x - x + 2 - 5
2x - 3 <== final answer, linear binomial
(2x + 8) + (3x² - 2)
1(2x + 8) + 1(3x² - 2)
2x + 8 + 3x² - 2
3x² + 2x + 6 <== final answer, quadratic trinomial
(3x + 8) + (4x² - x)
1(3x + 8) + 1(4x² - x)
3x + 8 + 4x² - x
4x² + 2x + 8 <== final answer, quadratic trinomial
(x² + 5x minus (-) 2) + (8 minus (-) 5x)
(x² + 5x - 2) + (8 - 5x)
1(x² + 5x - 2) + 1(8 - 5x)
x² + 5x - 2 + 8 - 5x
x² + 6 <== final answer, quadratic binomial
(x² + 7x) - (x² + 5)
1(x² + 7x) - 1(x² + 5)
x² + 7x - x² - 5
7x - 5 <== final answer, linear binomial
