It is already simplified because there is nothing you can divide into both 18 and 25 that would result in whole numbers.
<span>3x^2 + 4x + 8 + 2x^2 - 6x + 3 to give result as 9x^2 -2x - 5
</span>3x^2 + 4x + 8 + 2x^2 - 6x + 3
= 5x^2 - 2x + 11
so
9x^2 -2x - 5 - (5x^2 - 2x + 11)
= 9x^2 -2x - 5 - 5x^2 + 2x - 11
= 4x^2 -16
answer
expression (4x^2 -16) must be added to the sum of (3x^2 + 4x + 8) and (2x^2 - 6x + 3) to give the result as (9x^2 - 2x - 5)
158, because to solve this question we first need to know the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism which is A=<span>2<span>(<span><span><span>wl</span>+<span>hl</span></span>+<span>hw</span></span><span>) then you just need to input the numbers like so A=2(5*3+8*3+8*5) then when you simplify this down you get A=2(79) then distribute like so so A=158
