Answer: 14y^3 - 8y^2 - 5y + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify and then combine like terms.
Original problem: 2y^2 + 7y + 11 - 8y^2 - 5y + 7
Simplified: 14y^3 + 11 - 8y^2 - 5y + 7
And then combined: 14y^3 + 11 - 8y^2 - 5y + 7
Combined continued: 14y^3 -8y^2 -5y +11 + 7
Final: 14y^3 - 8y^2 - 5y + 7
I already excluded anything that was written as "+ -(insert number)" because it would still end up to be "-" or a subtract/negative.
I hope this helps, and that I did it right.
