Question

What is the sum of the given polynomials in standard form? (x2 – 3x) + (–2x2 + 5x – 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

-x² + 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply combine like terms together.

x² terms are added together

x terms are added together

Constants are added together

Answer 2

Answer: -x^2 + 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 - 3x) + (-2x^2 + 5x - 3)

Combine like terms

x^2 - 2x^2 - 3x + 5x - 3

x^2 - 2x^2 = -x^2

-3 + 5x = 2x
